INTRODUCTION 


In  1896,  when  Rev.  E.  Victor  Bigelow,  a  member  of  the  com- 
mittee on  Town  History,  volunteered  to  write  a  history  of  the 
Town  of  Cohasset,  Mr.  and  Mrs.  George  L.  Davenport  were 
engaged  by  the  committee  to  write  a  Genealogy  of  Cohasset 
Families. 

The  narrative  history  was  completed  and  published  in  1898, 
but  the  genealogy  requiring  infinitely  more  research,  it  was  not 
possible  to  publish  it  with  the  earlier  volume,  and  it  was  not 
until  October,  1908,  that  the  book  was  ready  for  the  press. 

In  the  ten  years  that  have  elapsed  since  the  publication  of 
the  history,  there  have  been  some  changes  in  the  town,  and  the 
committee  on  Town  History  have  taken  advantage  of  the  oppor- 
tunity to  bring  the  History  up  to  date.  In  the  narrative  history 
subjects  were  omitted  which  might  properly  have  been  included  ; 
we  have  therefore  added  a  number  of  chapters  containing  matter 
which  it  is  believed  is  of  sufficient  importance  to  be  preserved. 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  our  obligation  to  those  who  at  then- 
own  expense  have  furnished  half-tones  for  many  of  the  illustra- 
tions, and  especially  to  Mr.  Russell  B.  Tower,  who  has  made 
from  old  oil  paintings  several  negatives  from  which  half-tones 
have  been  made.

PREFACE 


This  genealogical  record  of  the  families  of  Cohasset  has 
been  prepared  at  the  request  of  the  Committee  on  Town  His- 
tory, and  is  printed  as  the  result  of  the  vote  of  the  town, 
March  3,  1908. 

It  was  found  very  unsatisfactory  to  begin  with  the  date 
1770,  when  the  second  precinct  of  Hingham  became  the  town- 
of  Cohasset,  and  the  rule  adopted  was  to  take  each  family  as 
soon  as  it  became  resident  upon  land  now  included  in  this 
town.  Besides  this  "  Rocky  Nook  "  was  included  as  being  at 
one  time  a  part  of  Cohasset.  The  work  is  brought  down  to  the 
close  of  1907,  with  as  much  added  for  1908  as  could  be  obtained 
up  to  the  time  of  going  to  press. 

The  basis  of  the  work  is  the  town  and  church  records,  and 
these  are  supplemented  by  those  of  other  towns,  printed  and 
unprinted,  and  other  genealogical  records,  and  by  family  records, 
deeds  and  wills.  As  there  was  no  record  of  deaths  kept  from 
1747  to  1798,  and  Joel  Willcutt's  diary  begins  only  in  1791,  the 
date  of  decease  of  many  prominent  persons  is  conspicuously 
wanting.  For  this  period  the  cemetery  inscriptions  are  the 
chief  authority,  but  there  is  no  record  of  the  names  of  the  many 
placed  in  tombs. 

In  early  years  baptisms  rather  than  births  were  recorded. 
In  some  instances  these  took  place  on  the  very  day  of  birth, 
but  it  was  more  often  the  following  Sunday. 

Much  help  has  been  derived  from  the  Hingham  Genealogies 
in  writing  out  our  families  before  1 770,  but  all  has  been  compared 
with  our  records,  and  in  many  cases  it  has  been  possible  to  make 
corrections  or  to  add  new  matter.  Only  residents  of  the 
town  (the  second  precinct  of  Hingham  before  1770)  are  in- 
cluded, and  those  only  who  appear  in  some  way  on  the  records. 


vi  Preface. 

One  or  two  exceptions  have  been  made  when  these  seemed 
justified. 

The  method  of  arrangement  used  is  that  indorsed  by  the 
New  England  Historic  Genealogical  Society,  and  is  essentially 
the  same  as  that  of  the  Hingham  Genealogies.  Whenever 
possible  the  line  of  ancestors  going  back  to  the  "emigrant"  is 
given,  numbered,  in  parenthesis  after  the  name  of  the  head  of 
each  family.  Where  this  cannot  be  done  the  names  of  his 
father  and  mother  are  given  in  the  parenthesis,  sometimes 
followed  by  those  of  grandparents.  The  head  of  each  family 
has  his  own  number,  and  this  number,  after  number  one,  is 
found  at  the  left  of  his  name  in  his  father's  family,  except  in 
one  or  two  cases  where  the  father  was  not  of  this  town,  yet 
Closely  related  to  others  here. 

In  early  times  the  spelling  of  Christian  names  was  so  varied 
that  it  has  been  thought  better  to  enter  them  as  found.  Names 
of  those  born  within  the  last  fifty  years  or  so  have  been  given 
in  the  generally  received  form,  so  far  as  practicable.  Much 
assistance  has  been  received  from  members  of  the  families 
given,  but  in  one  or  two  instances  it  has  come  too  late  for  use. 
It  must  be  remembered  that  authorities  often  differ  in  the 
matter  of  a  date,  and  in  such  a  case  the  compiler  must  use  his 
judgment  as  best  he  can. 

Double  dating  was  used  up  to  1752  for  the  dates  between 
1  Jan.  and  25  Mar.,  as  the  year  legally  began  on  the  latter 
date.  For  instance,  Rev.  Nehemiah  Hobart  began  to  live  in 
his  house  "Jan.  20,  1724-5."  His  first  child  was  born  Nov.  6, 
1725;  that  is,  the  November  following.  In  bringing  down  the 
dates  of  the  first  half  of  the  eighteenth  century  (until  Septem- 
ber, 1752)  to  the  present  time,  eleven  days  should  be  added. 
Thus  the  two-hundredth  anniversary  of  the  raising  of  Parson 
Hobart *s  house  will  occur  on  Oct.  26,  1922. 

When  giving  the  public  offices,  held  by  individuals,  their 
election  at  town  meeting  was  taken  as  proof  of  their  serving. 
In  a  few  instances  they  were  excused  and  did  not  hold  office, 
but  reference  to  the  note  by  Mr.  N.  B.  Tower  under  "Town 
Officers  "  will  lead  to  the  needed  corrections. 

We  wish  to  acknowledge  our  indebtedness  to  Mr.  George 


Preface.  vii 

Lincoln  of  Hingham  for  the  help  his  work  has  given  us,  and 
we  owe  thanks  to  Mr.  Wilford  J.  Litchfield  and  to  Miss  Ella 
Bates  for  assistance  in  tracing  Scituate  connections. 

There  are  many  names  and  dates  wanting  that  time  and 
further  research  may  discover,  but  it  has  been  our  earnest 
endeavor  to  make  our  work  as  complete  as  possible.

BATES    (BATE,   BEAT). 

Of  the  grandsons  of  Clement,  who  settled  in  Hing.  in  1635,  two, 
Joseph  and  Joshua,  sons  of  Clement's  son  Joseph,  took  up  their 
abode  in  the  sec.  pre.  some  years  before  1700.  Later  their  nephew 
David,  son  of  their  brother  Caleb,  followed  them.  From  these 
three  are  descended  most  of  the  Bates  families  of  Coh.  A  few 
other  descendants  of  Clement,  one  family  from  his  brother  Edward, 
and  several,  not,  thus  far,  traceable  to  their  emigrant  ancestor, 
add  to  the  number  bearing  the  ancient  name  of  Bate,  or  Bates.

Lane,  now  Sohier  St.,  of  which  his  father  owned  the  other  half. 
After  his  father's  death  in  1706  he  owned  the  whole  lot,  and  he 
seems  to  have  built  a  house  upon  the  eastern  end  of  it  just  before 
his  death,  but  not  to  have  occupied  it.  He  lived  on  what  is  now 
Cedar  St.,  near  the  present  Hing.  line,  and  in  his  will  leaves  to 
his  wife  Mary,  after  other  bequests,  "  the  west-end  of  his  dwell-

in  the  sec.  pre.  1722,  and  deacon  of  the  same  1727.  "Mason." 
By  the  agreement  made  with  his  brother  Jonathan,  before  the 
latter's  death  in  17 18,  it  was  decided  that  Joseph  should  have 
"the  Mansion-house  that  their  father  possessed  at  his  death  and 
where  the  said  Joseph  Beate  now  dwells,  together  with  all  land 
adjoining  (44  acres  except  2\  acres  on  the  East  side  of  the  fresh 
meadow  in  said  lot),  all  that  house,  Barn  and  housing  and  Edifices, 
fences,  orchards  and  land"  —  bounded  "E'ly  with  highway,  N'ly 
with  the  highway  leading  from  land  of  2d  div.  to  the  highway, 
W'ly  with  the  highway  dividing  the  1st  div.  from  the  sec  ,  and, 
S'ly,  land  of  Ibrook  Tower." 

The  house  built  by  Joseph3  in  1713,  and  lived  in  soon  after 
his  death  by  his  son  Joseph,4  must  be  what  has  long  been  known 
as  the  Sohier  house,  now  owned  by  Mr.  Sohier's  granddaughter, 
Mrs.  Channing  Clapp.

Adna6  Bates  and  others  of  their  children  to  Thomas  Bourn,  19 
Mar.,  1798,  conveys  land,  the  right  to  which  is  "given  in  a  will  by 
Lazarus  Beal  and  Ruth  his  wife,  late  of  Coh.  deceased."  The 
only  way  in  which  they  could  inherit  from  Lazarus  and  Ruth 
Beal  was  as  grandchildren,  through  their  mother,  Mercy.)  He  d.

he  owned  the  first  wharf  which  was  taxed  (1754),  and  he  was  a 
large  owner  of  real  estate.  He  inherited  the  greater  part  of  his 
father's  property;  in  fact  he  is  taxed  for  it  in  1749,  the  year 
before  his  father  dies,  the  latter  having  only  "non  rateable"  poll- 
tax. 

On  the  3  July,  1765,  he  gives  a  mortgage-deed  to  Josiah  Quincy 
of  Braintree,  to  three  pieces  of  property,  the  first  of  which  he 
styles  "all  that  my  now  dwelling-house  and  22  acres  of  land  adjoin- 
ing", \  acre  which  Samuel  had  before  sold  to  his  son  Joseph 
excepted.  The  same  day  John  Quincy  transfers  it  to  Isaac  Lin- 
coln and  three  others,  and  1  April,  1772,  these  joint  owners,  for 
£500  lawful  money,  sell  it  to  John  Gillespie  of  Boston,  merchant. 
Samuel  lived  after  1772,  according  to  the  tax  list,  in  the  house  he 
had  bought  of  Moses  Cushing,  the  old  Stephen  Stodder  house 
on  the  Common.     Member  Com.  of  Inspection,  1774.

JOSHUA  BATES. 

1.  Joshua3  (Joseph2  Clement1),  b.  in  Hing.  14  Aug.,  1671; 
m.  15  Jan.,  1695-6,  Rachel,  dau.  of  Ibrook  and  Margaret  (Hardin) 
Tower.  She  was  b.  in  Hing.  16  Mar.,  1674-5,  and  d.  before 
1757.  Pie  d.  April,  1757.  Member  of  1st  School  Com.  1728. 
One  of  three  to  make  plan  for  new  meetinghouse  in  1746,  the 
others  being  James  Stutson  and  John  Stephenson.  It  seems 
certain  that  his  house  was  built  in  1695,  before  the  first  child  was 
born,  on  the  west  side  of  what  is  now  South  Main  St.,  on  lot  40 
of  the  1st  div.  In  171 1  he  was  taxed  for  1  house,  2  acres  farm, 
6  pasture.  In  his  will,  probated  14  Oct.,  1757,  Joshua  Bates 
gives  to  his  dau.  Bathsheba  Perry  "half  an  acre  of  land  where  her 
house  now  stands";  to  his  son  Joshua,  land  in  the  3d  div.,  "where 
his  house  now  stands";  to  Solomon  the  lot  "where  his  house  now 
stands,"  this  being  near  Bathsheba's  in  lot  19  on  South  Main  St., 
a  little  south  of  Beechwood  St.;  to  Jacob  "all  my  homestead, 
housing,  and  land  adjoining,  with  shop  and  tools."  The  tax  lists 
show  that  Jacob  lived  in  the  house  with  his  father.  In  1749, 
Joshua  was  taxed  for  \  dwelling  house,  |  acre  orchard,  \  acre 
tillage,  6  pasture,  4  slaves,  2  cows.  His  house  remained  in  pos- 
session of  his  descendants  till  about  1900,  but  is  now  owned  and 
occupied  by  James  Dean.  It  is  doubtless  the  oldest  house  in 
town.

LITCHFIELD. 

Of  the  many  descendants  in  Cohasset  of  Lawrence  Litchfield, 
who  settled  in  Scit.  shortly  before  1646,  the  greater  number  are  of 
the  family  of  his  great-great-grandson  James"' ,  who  came  to  the 
Beechwoods  about  1760.  A  few  families  are  derived  from  Capt. 
Daniel3,  of  Scit.,  a  younger  brother  of  James"',  and  others  from  a 
still  younger  brother,  Dea.  Israel5,  also  of  Scit.  Another  group  of 
families  originates  in  Lothrop5,  a  cousin  of  these  brothers.  Besides 
these  there  are  one  or  two,  no  doubt  of  the  same  stock,  which  can- 
not thus  far  be  rightly  placed.

OAKES. 

Edward1,  b.  in  Eng.,  1604;  came  to  Cambridge,  1640,  with  wife 
Jane  and  two  sons,  Urian  and  Edward.  Urian2,  b.  in  Eng.  163 1; 
grad.  H.  C.  1649;  was  settled  as  minister  in  Tichfield,  Eng.,  1650, 
and  in  Cambridge,  Mass.,  1671.  Elected  fourth  president  of 
Har.  Coll.,  1675;  d.  1681.  Of  Edward2  but  little  is  known.  He 
was  a  lieutenant  in  King  Philip's  War. 

Thomas2  (Edward1),  b.  in  Cambridge,  1644;  Har.  Coll.,  1662; 
settled  as  physician  in  Boston;  was  representative  1689;  went  to 


3 1 6  Oakes. 

Eng.  as  agent  for  Mass.  and  assisted  in  procuring  the  new  charter. 

His  wife,  Martha ,d.  19  April,  I7i9,aged  70  yrs.,  in  Cambridge. 

He  d.  in  Wellfleet,  15  July,  17 19,  aged  75  yrs.  Josiah3,  youngest  son 
of  Dr.  Thomas2,  was  b.  in  Boston,  3  May,  1689;  Har.  Coll.,  1708;

Margaret,  dau.  of  Samuel  and  Margaret  (Johnson)  Haugh.  He 
d.  at  Wellfleet,  21  Jan.,  1732. 

There  is  much  circumstantial  evidence  to  show,  though  no 
record  of  it  has  been  found,  that  his  widow,  Margaret,  married, 
about  1733,  James  Stutson  of  Hing.,  sec.  pre.  The  youngest 
child  of  James  and  Margaret  was  named  Atherton  Haugh.  Of 
the  four  children  of  Rev.  Josiah  and  Margaret  (Haugh)  Oakes  one 
had  died  in  Eastham;  the  others,  Joshua  Doane,  Urian,  and 
Samuel,  were  doubtless  brought  up  in  Hing.,  sec.  pre.,  with  their 
half  brothers  and  sisters. 

Joshua  Doane4  (Rev.  Josiah3  Dr.  Thomas2  Edward'),  b. 
Eastham,  2  June,  1726,  "shipwright,"  died  at  the  house  of 
James  Stutson,  16  June,  1749.  On  the  preceding  day  he 
"called  his  Eldest  Brother  Urian  to  his  bedside  and  gave  him 
his  best  suit  of  Cloath  and  his  watch,  and  to  his  brother  Samuel, 
the  rest  of  his  cloaths,  his  silver  shoe  buckles  and  knee  buckles, 
and  to  his  wife  the  remainder  of  his  estate."  His  wife's  name 
was  Mary,  and  she  may  have  been  a  niece  of  Mrs.  Sarah  Jacob, 
who  was  present  with  Leah  Egree,  soon  to  be  the  wife  of  Urian. 

Nothing  further  is  known  of  Samuel4,  all  of  the  name  in  Coh. 
being  descended  from  Urian.4

STETSON    (STUTSON). 

1.  James4  (James3  Benjamin2  Robert1),  b.  in  Boston,  11  Sept., 
1699;  m.  abt.  1733,  Margaret .  There  is  convincing  circum- 
stantial evidence  that  she  was  Margaret  (Haugh)  Oakes,  dau.  of 
Samuel  Haugh  and  widow  of  Rev.  Josiah  Oakes,  but  no  record  of 
her  second  marriage  has  been  found,  and  there  is  no  record  in 
Coh.  either  of  her  death  or  of  James  Stutson's.  In  the  Central 
Cemetery  their  children  are  buried  beside  those  of  Josiah  and 
Margaret  Oakes. 

The  first  mention  of  James  Stutson  in  records  of  Hing.,  sec.  pre., 
is  as  follows:  "12  Aug.,  1724  —  voated  that  Jeams  Stutson  should 
have  one  pound  six  shillings  for  work  done  in  the  meeting-house 
about  ye  deacons  seat,  and  making  a  closet  under  the  pulpit  and 
rinding  a  lock  and  putting  it  on  closet  door."  In  1749  he  had 
the  largest  farm  in  the  Beechwoods,  but  in  1750  he  owned  the  land 
on  Main  St.  south  of  Rev.  Nehemiah  Hobart,  and  prob.  lived  in 
the  house,  which  (enlarged)  is  now  Dr.  H.  E.  Fernald's.  Before

*  Nichols  Tower  (born  1787,  died  1866)  was  an  instance  of  a 

man  who  helped  to  make  Cohasset  a  town  in  which  its  inhabitants 

could  earn  their  living.     His  father,  Levi  Tower,  had  been  one  of 

the  first  shipwrights  and  vessel  owners  in  Cohasset,  and  Nichols 

early  in  life  became  a  vessel  owner  in  partnership  with  his  father, 

and  later  owned  for  himself  and  in  connection  with  others  many 

of  the  vessels  built  at  Cohasset. 

He  commanded  at  times  some  of  the  vessels  which  he  owned, 
and  Frank  Pratt  speaks  of  him  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Tower 
on  a  fishing  trip.  He  paid  particular  attention  to  the  wrecking 
business,  raising  or  salving  many  vessels  wrecked  on  the  Massa- 
chusetts coast. 

John  Henry  Cook  was  a  member  of  his  crew  on  two  occasions 
when  expeditions  were  made  to  the  Spanish  Main  to  recover 
treasure  lying  in  vessels  sunk  there.

Beechwood  to  Hingham,  being  named  in  remembrance  of  his

*  Captain  Martin  Lincoln's  title  came  to  him  from  the  militia  and 

not  from  the  sea,  for  he  was  a  farmer  and  tilled  the  land  which 

his  ancestors  had  tilled  from  1750.    The  occupation  of  farming 

was  his  daily  occupation  from  boyhood  until  within  twenty  years 

of  his  death. 

In  his  younger  days  he  had  the  monopoly  of  such  simple  law 
business  as  could  be  transacted  by  the  country  justice  of  the 
peace.  He  was  at  one  time  president  of  the  Cohasset  Mutual 
Fire  Insurance  Company,  but  did  no  other  insurance  business.  In 
the  last  years  of  his  life  he  was  president  of  the  Cohasset  Savings 
Bank. 

He  was  a  man  of  good  judgment,  conservative  in  his  ideas  and 
was  a  citizen  who  enjoyed  the  confidence  and  respect  of  his  fellow 
townsmen,  who  elected  him  to  serve  as  their  representative  twice 
in  the  Massachusetts  Legislature,  as  well  as  on  the  Board  of 
Selectmen  for  many  years.  Under  his  supervision  was  built  that 
portion  of  South  Main  Street  running  across  the  meadow  by  the 
Catholic  Church,  known  for  many  years  as  the  "New  Road." 
He  also  straightened  Beechwood  Street  at  what  is  known  as  the 
"Point  of  Rocks."

During  the  Civil  War  he  was  active  in  recruiting.  A  man  of 
very  few  words,  and  those  uttered  with  the  utmost  moderation,  he 
seemed  to  typify  in  his  dignified  bearing  the  Puritan,  of  which  type 
he  was  the  last  representative.  Albeit  of  a  disposition  which  did 
not  encourage  familiarity,  he  was  not  without  a  sense  of  humor, 
as  is  shown  by  the  following  anecdote  related  of  him.  At  one 
time  at  a  meeting  of  the  Selectmen  for  making  up  the  annual 
accounts  for  the  town  book  it  was  suggested  by  him  that  James 
H.  Nichols  must  have  a  bill  against  the  Town  which  had  not 
been  presented,  namely  for  "Removing  Snow  from  South  Main 
Street."  As  Mr.  Nichols  had  during  the  year  married  Miss 
Ruth  Snow,  of  South  Main  Street,  and  removed  her  to  his 
home  on  the  Common,  the  application  of  the  witticism  was  easily 
perceived.

*  Levi  N.  Bates,  who  was  a  member  of  the  School  Committee 
for  twenty-eight  years,  brought  to  that  office  a  mind  better 
stored  with  learning  than  is  customarily  found  in  the  person  of  a 
country  storekeeper.  He  early  in  life  devoted  himself  to  the 
study  of  the  French  language  and  became  proficient  in  its  use,  both 
in  conversation  and  reading.  He  organized  classes  of  young  people, 
whom  he  taught  without  pay,  and  by  his  influence  had  the  study 
of  this  language  carried  to  a  point  in  the  Cohasset  High  School 
further  than  was  then  pursued  in  many  colleges.  His  influence 
in  this  respect  is  still  felt  in  the  High  School  course. 

He  was  also  proficient  in  the  use  of  the  Spanish  and  Portuguese 
languages. 

He  was  a  lover  of  music,  as  was  natural  in  the  son  of  the  man 
who  made  the  first  two  pianos  owned  in  Cohasset. 


504  History  of  Cohasset. 

He  also  was  an  amateur  in  the  fine  art  of  painting,  and  did  work 
in  this  line  which  was  not  without  merit.  The  flower  garden  more 
than  the  kitchen  garden  appealed  to  him.  In  short  his  was  one 
of  those  fine  grained  natures  which  took  pleasure  in  the  aesthetic- 
side  of  life. 

He  was  the  village  apothecary  for  years  and  was  the  treasurer 
of  the  Cohasset  Savings  Bank  up  to  the  time  of  his  death.

*  Edward  Tower,  while  he  served  the  town  in  the  different 
offices  enumerated  above,  will  be  best  remembered  as  a  member  of 
the  School  Committee,  of  which  he  was  a  member  twenty-three 
years,  from  the  time  when  the  schools  were  conducted  under  the 
district  system  up  to  the  time  when  something  like  a  system  of 
graded  schools  was  being  evolved.  A  school  master  himself  when 
a  young  man,  he  understood  the  needs  of  the  schools  and  was 
especially  well  versed  in  everything  pertaining  to  their  physical 
welfare. 

He  acted  as  postmaster  for  many  years  in  the  northerly  end  of 
the  building  now  occupied  by  Norris  Brothers,  and  in  addition 
did  what  surveying  was  called  for  in  the  town.

*  Abraham  H.  Tower,  known  as  Captain  Tower,  or  as  Captain 
Abraham  Hubbard,  was  one  of  the  solid  citizens  of  the  town. 
The  pronunciation  of  his  middle  name  Hobart  as  Hubbard,  which 
was  the  only  pronunciation  used  by  people  of  his  own  age,  was 
not  incorrect,  but  was  the  pronunciation  brought  over  from  England, 
where  it  is  so  pronounced  to-day.  And  Captain  Tower  served  as 
a  link  between  the  old  and  the  new  in  other  ways  than  in  the 
pronunciation  of  his  name. 

In  the  old  meeting  house  he  was  always  found  in  his  pew  on 
Sunday,  carrying  out  the  old  fashioned  custom  of  standing  during 
the  prayer.    And  in  his  house  on  the  plain  the  ample   fireplaces

served  their  purpose  of  giving  heat  long  after  they  had  been 
bricked  up  in  other  houses  in  the  town,  while  every  year  his  wood 
lots  furnished  a  goodly  store  of  wood  for  these  same  fireplaces, 
which  was  piled  in  the  yard  by  the  side  of  the  house. 

Early  in  his  life  he  followed  in  the  footsteps  of  his  father  as  a 
vessel  owner,  and  almost  the  last  vessel  built  in  Cohasset,  the 
Charlotte,  was  owned  by  him.  Many  of  the  vessels  owned,  or 
partly  owned  by  him,  were  engaged  wholly  or  in  part  in  foreign 
commerce,  but  many  of  them,  and  in  the  latter  part  of  his  life, 
all  of  them,  were  fishing  vessels. 

A  huge  pile  of  cord  wood  placed  on  the  Common  opposite 
his  house,  and  reaching  to  the  foot  of  the  hill,  was  consumed  every 
summer  in  these  fishing  vessels. 

He  also  conducted  a  large  farm  and  brought  up  in  his  family 
many  boys  who  served  their  time  on  his  vessels  or  on  the  farm. 
For  some  years  he  was  president  of  the  savings  bank  and  of  the 
fire  insurance  company.

1872;  Supt.  of  Schools,  1873-1885;  Rep.  1862. 
*  Joseph  Osgood  (born  1815,  died  1898)  for  nearly  sixty  years 
was  an  important  factor  in  shaping  and  influencing  the  lives  of 
the  citizens  of  Cohasset.  In  the  year  1839  and  1840,  while  a 
student  at  the  Harvard  Divinity  School,  he  taught  in  the  little 
schoolhouse  on  the  rocks,  where  now  stands  St.  Stephen's  Church. 
He  often  said  in  later  years  that  on  his  first  visjt  to  Cohasset,  as  the 
stage-coach  which  conveyed  him  from  the  Hingham  boat  rose  over 


506  History  of  Cohasset. 

the  hill  leading  on  to  the  Common,  he  thought,  —  "This  is  a 
town  where  I  should  like  to  spend  the  rest  of  my  days."  That 
exactly  this  thing  happened  shows  the  peculiar  disposition  of  the 
man,  which  enabled  him  to  remain  in  a  small  country  town  for 
nearly  sixty  years,  occupying  positions,  the  retention  of  which 
depended  upon  the  whims  of  the  populace.  During  the  early 
years  of  his  pastorate,  there  was  no  Catholic  church  in  the  town, 
and  the  Irish  and  Portuguese  found  in  him  the  counselor  and  friend 
ordinarily  sought  for  in  the  priest  of  the  parish. 

For  forty-five  years,  either  as  member  of  the  school-committee 
or  as  superintendent  of  schools,  he  had  a  powerful  influence  in 
shaping  the  policy  of  the  public  school  system  in  Cohasset.  Even 
in  his  old  age  he  was  anxious  that  the  Cohasset  schools  should  have 
the  benefit  of  whatever  was  newest  and  most  advanced  in  methods 
of  teaching. 

When  he  entered  on  his  parochial  duties  as  minister  of  the  First 
Parish  the  feeling  of  bitterness  engendered  by  the  secession  from 
his  church  of  a  number  of  families  for  the  formation  of  another 
church  was  still  strong,  but  long  before  his  death  that  feeling  had 
entirely  passed  away;  a  result  brought  about  as  much  by  his  atti- 
tude as  any  one  thing.  The  writer  well  remembers  an  incident 
that  occurred  when,  between  the  pastorates  of  Mr.  Savage  and  Mr. 
Biglow  of  the  Second  Church,  that  parish  was  left  without  a  min- 
ister, that  he  entered  the  vestry  of  the  latter  church  on  the  occasion 
of  the  annual  parish  supper  and  found  Dr.  Osgood  seated  in  the 
midst  of  the  assembled  company,  his  venerable  white  head  and 
beaming  smile  seeming  to  bestow  a  benediction  on  all.  This 
popularity  was  gained  without  the  use  of  any  other  means  than 
that  of  a  good  life  simply  lived  in  the  midst  of  his  townspeople.

incumbent.  As  a  young  man  he  learned  the  trade  of  stair  builder 
and  worked  in  the  store  of  his  father,  Caleb  Lothrop.  For  many 
years  he  was  custom  house  officer  for  the  port  of  Cohasset  and  at 
one  time  acted  in  that  capacity  as  well  for  the  ports  of  Hingham 
and  Hull.  He  was  justice  of  the  peace  and  drew  deeds  and  mort- 
gages and  wills.  He  also  acted  as  executor  of  wills  and  adminis- 
trator of  estates. 

He  was  secretary  of  the  Cohasset  Mutual  Fire  Insurance  Com- 
pany, and  after  the  death  of  Captain  Martin  Lincoln  was  president 
of  the  Cohasset  Savings  Bank.  He  also  represented  Cohasset  in 
the  State  Legislature.  But  he  will  be  best  remembered  as  select- 
man, assessor  and  overseer  of  the  poor,  and  moderator  of  the  town 
meetings.  There  is  no  question  but  that  his  services  to  the  Town 
in  these  various  capacities  were  notable.  At  the  time  of  his 
death  he  was  a  member  of  the  board  of  County  Commissioners  of 
Norfolk  County.  -, 

He  enjoyed  the  confidence  of  the  summer  residents  and  it  wa 
largely  through  his  exertions  that  the  corporation  tax  of  the  West 
End  Street  Railway  was  secured  for  Cohasset  in  1886  and  until 
its  final  distribution. 

While  keeping  a  watchful  eye  on  the  appropriations  of  the  town 
in  order  that  the  tax  rate  might  be  kept  at  the  lowest  point  con- 
sistent, he  was  always  in  favor  of  liberal  appropriations  for  those 
things  which  tended  to  advance  Cohasset  and  make  it  a  desirable 
town  to  live  in  —  good  schools,  good  roads,  etc. 

As  moderator  he  was  unique,  a  law  unto  himself.  His  admin- 
istration of  the  office  was  not  according  to  Cushing's  Manual, 
but  according  to  the  Manual  of  J.  Q.  A.  Lothrop,  and  while  this 
often  aroused  strenuous  opposition,  his  conduct  of  the  office  was 
so  satisfactory  to  the  majority  of  the  voters  that  he  was  re-elected 
year  after  year.  He  knew  every  voter  in  town  and  could  call 
him  by  name  as  he  approached  the  ballot  box. 

As  school  committee  man  he  also  rendered  efficient  service  to 
the  town.

showed  the  confidence  reposed  in  him  by  his  fellow  citizens.  As  a 
boy  he  obtained  his  business  training  in  the  office  of  the  Revere 
Copper  Company  in  Boston,  and  later  in  life  carried  on,  in 
connection  with  his  brother  Newcomb,  the  fishing  business 
inherited  from  his  father,  to  which  was  added  the  coal  and 
lumber  business.

Gleanings  from  the  Town  Records.  511 


GLEANINGS   FROM   THE   TOWN    RECORDS. 

April  26,  1770. — "The  Second  Precinct  in  Hingham  was  by  an  Act 
of  the  Great  and  General  Court  incorporated  into  a  separate  District  by 
the  name  of  Cohasset."  (The  name  "District"  was  later  changed  to 
"Town.") 

May  7,  1770. — At  this,  the  first  town  meeting  of  the  Inhabitants  of 
Cohasset,  there  were  chosen  in  addition  to  the  Town  Clerk,  three 
Selectmen  who  also  acted  as  Overseers  of  the  Poor,  three  Assessors  and 
a  Treasurer,  the  following  officers,  viz:  —  two  Wardens,  two  Constables, 
two  Fence  Viewers,  two  Hog-reeves,  a  Clerk  of  the  Market,  one  Field 
Driver,  one  Surveyor  of  Wood,  Plank,  Timber  and  Shingles,  one  Culler 
of  Hoops  and  Staves,  one  Deer-reeve,  one  Sealer  of  Leather,  one  Culler 
of  Fish  and  Packer  of  Mackerel  and  four  Surveyors  of  Highways.  (A 
Tythingman  was  first  chosen  in  177 1.) 

At  the  next  meeting,  May  15,  1770,  thirty  pounds  was  raised  for  use 
of  the  School  or  Schools  the  current  year;  a  committee  of  three  was 
chosen  to  provide  Schoolmasters;  170  pounds,  in  addition  to  the  thirty 
pounds  above  mentioned,  was  raised  for  the  Rev.  Mr.  Brown's  salary 
and  other  necesssary  charges  of  said  District  the  current  year.  Also, 
voted,  "that  the  swine  may  go  at  large  the  present  year." 

At  the  third  and  last  meeting  of  Cohasset's  first  year  of  existence, 
held  Dec.  20,  1770,  it  was  voted  "that  every  child  that  cometh  to  the 
reading  and  writing  school  till  wood  is  wanted,  shall  bring  to  said  school 
a  foot  of  wood,  or  one  shilling  &  sixpence  in  money  to  the  School  master 
to  purchase  wood." 

March  4,  1776.  —  A  committee  of  Inspection,  Safety,  etc.,  consisting 
of  nine  persons,  was  chosen. 

June  14, 1776.  —  "Then  the  question  was  put  whether  if  the  Hon'ble 
American  Congress  should  declare  the  United  Colonys  independent  of 
the  Kingdom  of  Great  Britain,  they  will  support  it  with  their  lives  & 
fortunes.     Passed  in  the  affirmative." 

June  25,  1777.  —  "Then  chose  Josiah  Oakes  to  procure  and 
lay  before  Court  the  evidence  that  may  be  had  of  the  inimical  disposi- 
tion of  any  person  towards  this  or  any  of  the  United  States  of 
America." 


512  History  of  Cohasset. 

March  8,  1819.  —  "Voted,  that  the  Selectmen  be  authorized  to 
purchase  a  Hearse  for  the  decent  burial  of  the  dead." 

March  21,  1821.  —  "Voted,  that  the  Selectmen  be  authorized  to 
build  a  Magazine  for  the  safe  keeping  of  gunpowder,  &c."  (This 
magazine,  locally  called  the  "Powder  House,"  a  small  brick  building, 
was  located  upon  the  ledge  between  what  is  now  Pleasant  street  and 
James'  Lane.) 

April  i,  1822.  —  "Voted  to  accept  the  use  of  the  stove  in  the  Meeting 
House"  (which  had  been  purchased  by  individuals),  "and  keep  it  in 
repair." 

April  4,  1825.  —  "Voted,  that  if  any  individuals  see  fit  to  open  the 
road  over  Garnett's  Run,  so  called,  that  the  town  direct  the  surveyors 
to  make  the  road."     (Now  Brook  street.) 

April  3,  1826.  —  "  Voted  to  grant  Thomas  Oakes  permission  to  ring 
the  Meeting  House  bell  at  12  o'clock  at  noon  and  9  o'clock  in  the  even- 
ing." (Mr.  Oakes  was  totally  blind,  and  it  is  related  of  him  that  he 
would,  without  assistance,  leave  his  house,  which  stood  where  Dr. 
Wentworth's  house  now  is,  and  walk  up  the  street  or  sidewalk  till 
opposite  the  Meeting  House,  cross  over,  mount  the  stone  door-step  of 
the  porch,  with  the  key  in  his  hand,  and  insert  it  directly  into  the  keyhole 
as  neatly  as  if  possessed  of  good  sight.) 

March  12,  1827.  —  A  committee  of  nine  persons  was  chosen  "for 
the  purpose  of  purchasing  a  place  for  the  accommodation  of  the  Poor, 
provided  two-thirds  of  the  Committee  agree."  (The  committee 
agreed,  a  purchase  was  made  and  the  newly  purchased  Almshouse,  on 
what  is  now  King  street,  was  first  occupied  as  such  in  1827.) 

April  6,  1829.  —  "Voted  to  grant  individuals  leave  to  set  out  trees

by  William  B.  Johnson,  Esq.,  and  that  said  Staff  be  erected  on  the  Com- 
mon between  the  Pond  and  the  Unitarian  Meeting  House  nearly  in 
front  of  the  Town  Hall. 

(The  Staff  was  duly  erected  and  the  Flag  unfurled  therefrom  on  the 
Fourth  day  of  July,  186 1,  with  appropriate  ceremonies,  under  the 
direction  of  a  Committee  of  fifteen  chosen  by  the  Town.)

EDWARD    E     TOWER. 


MUSICAL   ASSOCIATIONS    OF    COHASSET. 

By  Burgess  C.  Tower. 

There  seems  to  be  no  record  of  any  organized  musical  society 
in  Cohasset  previous  to  the  formation  of  the  Atlantic  Musical  Asso- 
ciation (except  the  church  choirs  with  accompanying  instruments), 
and  the  brief  and  necessarily  incomplete  account  of  that  organiza- 
tion, as  given  in  this  article,  is  compiled  chiefly  from  recollections 
of  surviving  members  and  from  a  few  short  newspaper  items. 

The  prime  mover  in  band  and  orchestra  organizations  of  this 
town  was  Edward  E.  Tower.  He  was  born  in  Cohasset  in  1834, 
and  his  intense  interest  in  promoting  musical  affairs  from  the 
amateur's  standpoint  covered  a  period  of  over  forty  years.  His 
enthusiasm  continued  from  early  boyhood  to  the  last  year  of  his 
life. 

Capt.  Henry  J.  Hallgreen,  who  had  lived  in  Cohasset  for  a  short 
time  when  a  boy,  and  who  later  became  intimate  with  Edward  E. 
Tower,  when  both  as  young  men  were  commencing  their  business 
careers  in  Boston,  has  kindly  furnished  an  account  of  the  first 
bands  with  which  they  were  both  connected.  It  will  be  noted  that 
among  the  original  members,  William  W.  Lothrop,  Benjamin  Snow 
Joy,  and  Benjamin  F.  Smith  were  also  Cohasset  boys.  It  may  be 
of  interest  to  know  that  Captain  Hallgreen  at  the  beginning  of  the 
Civil  War  was  with  the  Massachusetts  2d  Batt.  Infantry,  sta- 
tioned at  Fort  Warren,  and  was  the  originator  of  the  setting  of  the 
words  "  John  Brown's  body  lies  a-mouldering  in  the  grave  "  to  an 
old  gospel  tune.  This  was  taken  up  by  Gilmore's  Band,  and 
immediately  became  one  of  our  best  known  patriotic  songs.  A 
detailed  account  of  this  song  may  be  found  in  Elson's  "  History  of 
American  Music,"  which  can  be  procured  at  the  Paul  Pratt  Memo- 
rial Library.     Captain  Hallgreen's  story  is  given  in  full.

HISTORY  OF  THE  TREMONT  SERENADE  BAND. 

About  1852  there  lived  at  the  old  north  end  of  Boston,  three  close 
friends  and  chums,  who  might  have  been  seen  daily  from  April  'till  Octo- 
ber enjoying  a  swim  at  the  marine  railway;  Geo.  Beals  Willcutt,  who 
lived  with  his  parents  in  Salutation  Street,  Edw.  E.  Tower  of  same  resi- 
dence, and  yours  truly,  Henry  J.  Hallgreen  of  Tileston  Street.  I  began 
about  this  time  a  course  of  lessons  on  the  violin,  with  the  celebrated 
John  Holloway,  author  of  "Wood  Up."  Tower  liked  the  idea  and  at 
once  procured  a  fiddle,  and  I  brought  my  lessons  and  exercises  down  to 
Willcutt's  as  fast  as  I  received  them.  He  progressed  rapidly  and  con- 
ceived the  idea  of  a  serenade  band.  We  got  William  W.  Lothrop  and 
Benjamin  Snow  Joy  interested,  and  branched  out  as  the  Tower-Hallgreen 
Serenade  Band,  with  an  idea  of  picnic  party  music  as  follows:  Tower, 
Violin  primo,  Hallgreen,  Viola,  Joy,  Violin  secundo,  and  Benj.  F.  Smith, 
Bass  Cornet.  We  had  hardly  begun  when  the  irrepressible  E.  E.  T. 
thought  a  real  orchestral  brass  band  would  be  about  the  proper  thing, 
consequently  we  changed  over.  Edward  got  an  Eb  cornet,  I  took  up  the 
Bb,  Henry  A.  Lyford  and  his  brother  Thomas  J.  joined,  and  chose  Eb 
and  Alto  horn;  Edwin  Emerson  and  Philip  Wyatt  took  Tenor,  B.  F. 
Smith,  1st  Bass,  Wm.  H.  Lowery  and  Allen  P.  Boyce  took  up  Tenor  and 
2nd  Bass. 

You  must  remember  they  were  all  without  previous  practice  or  knowl- 
edge of  their  instrument.  We  later  engaged  J.  D'Anguerra  as  Band 
teacher,  to  teach  us  as  a  Band.  We  used  the  Lyford  carpenter  shop  in 
Barrett  St.  for  Band  room,  and  made  great  proficiency  in  our  various 
parts.  Antonio  D'Anguerra,  son  of  our  teacher,  who  was  a  pretty  good 
player,  joined  to  play  Bb  cornet. 

Our  Band  had  grown,  and  now  consisted  of  the  following  members 
as  the  Tremont  Serenade  Band. 

Edward  E.  Tower,  First  Eb,  Leader. 

Henry  A.  Lyford,  Second  Eb. 

Henry  J.  Hallgreen,  First  Bb. 

Antonio  D'Anguerra,  Bb. 

Thomas  J.  Lyford,  Alto  horn. 

J.  Thos.  Baldwin,  Alto  horn. 

Philip  Wyatt,  Tenor. 

Wm.  H.  Lowery,  Tenor. 

Edwin  Emerson,  Trombone. 

Benj.  F.  Smith,  First  Bass. 

Allen  P.  Boyce,  Second  Bass. 

Marshall  P.  Wild,  Bass  Drum. 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  517 

We  serenaded  friends  in  Boston,  notably  Alderman  Edward  A.  White, 
who  married  John  Simmons'  daughter,  and  became  manager  of  the 
immense  Simmons  estate.  We  visited  Cohasset  about  as  fast  as  we 
learned  a  new  piece.  Later  we  were  given  a  room  in  the  Cooper  Street 
Armory,  where  we  became  acquainted  with  the  American  Artillery, 
Cowdin  Artillery,  and  other  companies  in  the  Armory.  We  played  for 
them  on  their  parades,  which  came  pretty  often  in  those  days:  on  one 
occasion  the  American  Artillery  went  to  Stoneham,  we  were  caught  in  a 
furious  rain  storm  and  all  hands  deserted  to  the  nearest  barn.  Our  last 
band  room  was  on  Atkinson  St.  (now  Congress  St.).  On  our  parades 
we  hired  Sam'l  C.  Perkins,  a  band  leader  and  composer,  to  assist  on  the 
leading  El?  cornet,  and  occasionally  Geo.  B.  Morse  on  the  Bi>;  he  be- 
longed to  the  Chelsea  Brass  Band.  We  were  broken  up  at  last  by  hav- 
ing too  many  engagements,  three  for  one  day,  of  which  we  accepted  the 
Christ  Church  picnic,  after  which  we  split  up.  Tower,  myself,  Lyford 
and  Smith  decided  to  stick  to  business,  as  we  had  reached  the  serenade 
limit.  D'Anguerra,  Baldwin,  Boyce  and  Lowery  joined  other  bands 
and  continued  in  music  for  years.  Thus  ended  the  old  band  from  which 
we  had  all  derived  much  comfort  and  many  happy  days. 

Henry  J.  Hallgreen. 

After  the  Civil  War  had  ended,  there  was  great  demand  for 
patriotic  music,  and  local  military  bands  were  formed  in  many 
towns.  In  Cohasset  a  few  of  the  young  men  decided  to  take  up, 
for  recreation,  study  on  various  brass  instruments,  and  Mr.  Tower 
was  invited  to  instruct  them.  Other  members  were  added  and  a 
permanent  organization  effected,  the  name  Atlantic  Musical  Asso- 
ciation having  been  adopted.  A  set  of  band  instruments  was 
•purchased,  and  loaned  to  the  members,  many  of  whom  later  bought 
their  own  instruments. 

In  1867  a  Constitution  and  set  of  By-laws  were  printed,  to  which 
was  added  the  list  of  officers  and  members,  stating  the  instrument 
each  played.  This  list,  together  with  the  Preamble  of  the  Consti- 
tution may  be  of  sufficient  interest  to  be  quoted. 

PREAMBLE. 

We  hereby  propose  to  form  a  Musical  Association  having  for  its  object 
recreation  and  instruction,  and  knowing  that  such  an  Association,  unless 
governed  by  proper  rules  and  regulations  must  fail  to  accomplish  its 
purpose,  hereby  agree  to  conform  to  the  following  Articles  as  fixed  and 
permanent  rules  for  the  government  of  the  same.

As  proficiency  was  acquired,  numerous  requests  for  the  services 
of  the  band  at  various  entertainments  and  gatherings  were  made, 
and  a  search  through  the  files  of  the  Hingham  Journal  gives  us 
brief  particulars  of  a  few  of  these  occasions. 

Music  was  furnished  at  installation  of  officers  of  Konohasset 
Lodge  A.  F.  &  A.  M.,  on  July  4, 1866.  In  the  following  September 
a  serenade  was  given  to  Major  William  B.  Johnson.  In  connection 
with  this  last  statement  it  may  be  well  to  add  that  serenading  seems 
to  have  been  a  decidedly  popular  part  of  the  band's  duties  at  that 
time.  Newly  married  couples  were  usually  the  recipients  of  this 
compliment  from  the  Association.  Among  those  so  favored  were 
Messrs.  John  Bates,  Jan.  30,  1870,  A.  A.  Lawrence,  Oliver  A. 
Brown. 


Musical  Associations  of  C  okas  set.  519 

In  March,  1868,  a  concert  by  the  Association  was  given  at  Hing- 
ham,  under  the  auspices  of  the  Agricultural  Society.  Miss  Mary 
Percival  (Mrs.  Loriman  S.  Brigham)  and  a  quartet,  consisting  of 
Mr.  and  Mrs.  Louis  N.  Lincoln,  Mrs.  Helen  Tower,  and  Mr.  Caleb 
F.  Nichols,  assisted.  According  to  the  newspaper  account  of  this 
affair,  gratifying  skill  was  shown  in  the  rendering  of  the  several 
selections. 

On  May  3  the  band  played  at  the  first  anniversary  of  the  organ- 
ization of  Minot's  Light  Lodge  of  Good  Templars,  and  in  the  fol- 
lowing July  played  at  a  strawberry  festival  in  Hingham. 

One  year  later,  in  July,  1869,  an  outdoor  concert  was  given  at 
Fountain  Square,  Hingham,  by  the  Atlantic  Musical  Association 
and  Hingham  Brass  Band  consolidated,  and  after  the  concert  a 
collation  was  served  by  the  Hingham  musicians.  At  midnight 
several  prominent  Hingham  residents  were  serenaded  by  the 
Cohasset  Band. 

On  May  7,  1870,  the'  Centennial  Anniversary  of  Cohasset  was 
celebrated,  and  our  band  took  a  prominent  part  in  the  programme, 
beginning  with  a  concert  at  7  a.m.,  on  the  Common,  furnishing  the 
music  for  the  procession  which  was  formed  at  the  depot  on  arrival 
of  Governor  Claflin,  with  state  officials  and  other  distinguished 
guests. 

At  about  this  time  a  small  orchestra  was  organized  of  band  mem- 
bers, which  gave  dances  and  promenade  concerts,  to  raise  money 
for  new  instruments  and  music. 

Caleb  Lothrop  entertained  the  band  on  the  occasion  of  his 
twenty-first  birthday,  and  a  pleasant  evening  was  spent  with  music 
and  refreshments.  From  this  time  until  1877  little  data  appear 
to  be  on  record  concerning  the  Association.  Probably  during  these 
years  chorus  singing  proved  a  greater  attraction,  as  will  be  seen 
below.  In  1877  the  Atlantic  Musical  Association  was  reorganized, 
Edward  E.  Tower  again  made  its  Director,  and  on  Thanksgiving 
Evening  a  successful  promenade  concert  was  given  at  the  Town 
Hall  by  the  band,  assisted  by  vocal  talent. 

It  was  in  the  early  eighties  that  the  band  furnished  music  for 
the  Scituate  Grand  Army  Post,  Decoration  Day,  on  two  or  three 
occasions.  In  later  years,  as  will  be  seen,  it  formed  the  nucleus 
of  the  Cohasset  Musical  Association. 


520  History  of  Cohasset. 

COHASSET  CHORAL  UNION. 

It  has  been  impossible  to  ascertain  the  date  of  organization  of 
this  society,  but  the  files  of  the  Hingham  Journal  have  again  been 
of  great  assistance  in  determining  the  facts  given  below. 

The  Cantata  " Belshazzar's  Feast"  was  performed  April  2,  1874, 
with  the  following  impersonation: 

Belshazzar  (King  of  Babylon) Mr.  Philander  Bates. 

Daniel Mr.  Louis  N.  Lincoln. 

Hananiah Rev.  M.  A.  Stevens. 

High  Priest Mr.  Caleb  F.  Nichols. 

Nitocris  (The  Queen) Miss  Jennie  B.  Tower. 

I  Mrs.  Louis  N.  Lincoln. 
Mrs.  Henry  C.  Tower. 
Miss  Elizabeth  C.  Bates. 
The  Reading Rev.  Joseph  Osgood. 

Two  weeks  later,  April  16,  1874,  this  cantata  was  repeated  at 
Duxbury,  and  we  quote  from  the  correspondent  of  the  Hingham 
Journal. 

North  Scituate,  April  20. 
"On  Thursday  evening,  16th  inst.,  by  previous  announcement,  the 
Cohasset  Choral  Union,  conducted  by  Edward  E.  Tower,  Esq.,  ren- 
dered the  cantata  of  '  Belshazzar's  Feast '  at  Duxbury.  Owing  to  the 
indisposition  of  a  member  in  one  of  the  leading  parts,  the  services  of  Mr. 
A.  M.  Bell  of  Boston  were  secured.  By  politeness  of  a  friend  your  cor- 
respondent was  invited  to  take  the  special  train  for  the  occasion,  which 
was  accepted,  and  which  we  improved  by  a  trip  to  the  old  historic  town. 
On  arriving  at  Duxbury  we  found  coaches  in  readiness  to  transport  the 
one  hundred  and  fifty  sojourners  to  the  Congregational  Church,  one  mile 
distant.  The  church  at  an  early  hour  gave  signs  of  a  good  audience,  and 
at  eight  o'clock  precisely,  the  conductor's  baton  announced  a  grand  over- 
ture by  the  orchestral  performers,  which  was  followed  by  a  chorus  of 
forty  voices.  It  is  useless  to  attempt  to  criticise  a  company  of  well- 
trained  performers,  therefore,  we  would  merely  re-echo  the  public  senti- 
ment, which  manifested  itself  in  the  repeated  encores,  if  it  were  not 
hat  special  mention  should  be  made  of  the  bass  soloists,  Messrs.  Phi- 
lander Bates  and  Caleb  F.  Nichols;  tenors,  A.  M.  Bell  and  Louis  N. 
Lincoln;  sopranos,  Mrs.  Henry  C.  Tower,  Misses  Lizzie  C.  Bates  and 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  521 

Jennie  B.  Tower;  altos,  Mrs.  Louis  N.  Lincoln  and  Miss  Frances 
Nichols,  who  fairly  excelled  all  former  efforts;  and  credit  was  also  due 
Mr.  Bell,  for  his  admirable  effort,  having  had  the  advantage  of  but  one 
rehearsal  in  one  of  the  most  difficult  parts." 

On  December  21,  1874,  the  Union  gave  the  cantata  at  the  Town 
Hall,  Cohasset,  entitled  "The  Pilgrim  Fathers." 

On  January  26,  1877,  it  was  announced  that  the  society  had  reor- 
ganized under  direction  of  Professor  L.  A.  Torrens  of  Boston,  and 
that  it  was  hoped  to  give  a  concert  in  the  early  spring. 

One  and  possibly  more  concerts  were  given  under  Mr.  Torrens' 
direction,  but  I  have  been  unable  to  find  out  more  concerning 
them. 

On  March  17,  1879,  "The  Haymakers,"  a  cantata  by  Root,  was 
given  by  the  Choral  Union,  and  the  performance  was  repeated  two 
nights  later.  Delegations  from  Hingham,  Weymouth,  and  Scituate 
were  present.  Among  those  who  took  prominent  parts  were 
Philander  Bates  as  the  Farmer,  William  R.  Collier  as  William, 
Caleb  Lothrop  as  John,  Frank  McClure  as  Snipkins,  Miss  Drusilla 
S.  Percival  as  Mary,  Miss  Elizabeth  C.  Bates  as  Anna,  and  Miss 
Sarah  Nichols  (Mrs.  E.  Herbert  Towle)  as  the  Dairy  Maid. 

An  Old  Folks'  Concert  was  given  in  1879,  and  it  was  announced 
that  "  Ye  Choral  Union  will  be  assisted  by  Miss  Ella  J.  Spoor,  who 
will  sing  and  by  Mr.  Waldo  F.  Bates,  who  will  blow  a  very  worldlie 
tune  on  ye  cornet."  Also  that  "Goodman  Collier,  down  from 
Boston,  will  sing  a  nautical  song  called  Jack's  Farewell,"  that 
"  Nabor  Edward  Tower  will  play  a  tune  on  ye  flute  and  his  darter 
will  accompany  him  on  ye  new  fangled  Spinnet  called  ye  Pianny," 
and  that  "A  Collection  of  young  menne  and  maidens  will  play  a 
sprightly  tune  called  Ye  Kinder  Symphony,  on  divers  instruments." 

In  February,  1880,  the  Cohasset  Choral  Union  gave  on  two  suc- 
cessive evenings  the  cantata  "  Esther,  the  Beautiful  Queen,"  to  a 
large  audience.  Appropriate  scenery  and  costumes  were  used,  and 
an  enthusiastic  review  of  this  performance  was  given  in  the  Hing- 
ham Journal.  Caleb  Lothrop  took  the  part  of  the  King  and  Miss 
Drusilla  Percival  that  of  Queen  Esther.  William  R.  Collier  was 
Mordecai,  and  E.  P.  Collier,  Haman.  Newcomb  B.  Tower  was 
the  musical  director. 


522  History  of  Cohas set. 

In  December,  1880,  rehearsals  were  begun  for  another 
performance  of  the  "Haymakers,"  and  for  the  rendering  of 
"  Ruth,"  a  cantata  by  Broad.  Miss  Elizabeth  C.  Bates  took 
the  part  of  Ruth. 

An  entertainment  was  given  at  about  this  time  in  aid  of  the 
society,  at  which  Messrs.  G.  H.  Wilson,  B.  S.  Knapp,  and 
E.  E.  Cutler  gave  the  operetta  of  "Cox  and  Box,"  composed  by 
Sullivan. 

On  February  24,  1881,  another  performance  of  the  "Haymakers" 
took  place  under  the  direction  of  Newcomb  B.  Tower,  with  the 
following  cast : 

Mary Miss  Drusilla  S.  Percival. 

Anna Miss  Elizabeth  C.  Bates. 

The  Dairymaid Miss  Minnie  Snow. 

William William  R.  Collier.

This  was  given  in  costume,  and  elaborate  stage  "property," 
including  thunder,  lightning,  and  rain  devices  added  much  to  the 
enjoyment  of  the  audience. 


COHASSET  MUSICAL  ASSOCIATION. 

In  1883  Edward  E.  Tower  undertook  the  still  larger  enterprise  of 
organizing  an  orchestra  in  which  the  young  ladies  of  the  town 
could  take  part.  This  became  known  as  the  Cohasset  Musical 
Association,  and  after  many  rehearsals  at  Atlantic  Hall,  over  the 
Tower  Dairy,  a  concert  was  given,  September  20,1883,  in  the  Town 
Hall,  thirty-four  performers  participating,  playing  the  various 
string,  wind,  and  percussion  instruments  which  make  up  an  orches- 
tra. Of  these  nearly  one  half  were  ladies,  a  unique  feature  in 
orchestras  at  that  time.  After  this  a  more  permanent  organization 
was  effected,  and  at  a  business  meeting  held  at  Atlantic  Hall,  Sep- 
tember 30th,  Edw.  E.  Tower  was  made  chairman,  and  the  name 
officially  selected  as  above  stated. 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  523 

It  was  voted  to  choose  a  board  of  officers,  consisting  of  three 
directors,  a  treasurer,  a  clerk,  and  a  librarian.  Elmer  F.  Olmsted 
was  chosen  clerk,  Henry  P.  Furber  treasurer,  and  Geo.  W.  Collier 
librarian.  It  was  voted  also  that  the  board  of  directors  consist  of 
three  members,  in  connection  with  the  other  officers.  Edw.  E. 
Tower,  Daniel  N.  Tower,  and  Caleb  Lothrop  were  chosen  directors, 
who  were  authorized  to  conduct  the  business  of  the  association  as 
they  should  deem  proper. 

Many  of  the  townspeople  and  summer  residents  cooperated 
with  the  active  members  most  heartily,  and  became  associate  mem- 
bers, paying  annual  dues  of  three  dollars,  thereby  being  entitled  to 
a  free  admission  to  all  concerts  or  rehearsals.  Both  active  and 
associate  members  had  a  limited  number  of  complimentary  tickets 
for  their  friends.  All  money  received  for  membership  fees  was 
used  for  the  purchase  of  music,  instruments,  and  for  instruction  if 
so  desired. 

Mr.  James  O.  Freeman  of  Boston  was  engaged  for  instruction  on 
the  violin,  viola,  and  violoncello,  and  classes  were  immediately 
formed.  Mr.  Tower  not  only  directed  the  full  rehearsals,  but 
held  extra  rehearsals  for  the  brass  instrument  performers, 
many  of  whom  had  previously  belonged  to  the  Atlantic  Musical 
Association. 

Miss  Edith  J.  Tower  (Mrs.  Chas.  W.  Gammons)  a  little 
later  succeeded  Mr.  Freeman  as  instructor  on  the  violin  and 
viola. 

On  February  28,  1884,  the  orchestra  was  engaged  to  furnish  one 
of  the  entertainments  given  by  the  People's  Course  of  Entertain- 
ments, and  gratuitously  gave  its  services. 

Under  date  of  March  29,  1884,  the  Cohasset  Cottager  invited  Mr. 
Tower  to  make  a  statement  regarding  the  Association,  and  it  may 
be  interesting  to  read  his  exact  words,  as  characteristic  of  the  man. 
"  We  are  doing  very  well  considering  the  short  time  since  our  organ- 
ization, about  ten  months,  far  better  than  I  could  have  expected. 
'What,'  musicians  say  to  me,  'eight  young  ladies  in  a  small  town 
like  Cohasset  playing  the  'cello  and  all  of  them  taking  lessons  of  a 
competent  teacher?  We  could  hardly  find  as  many  in  our  large 
cities  who  would  be  willing  to  undertake  it,  much  less  to  devote  time 
and  money  to  it;  but  one  thing  is  sure,  they  will  find  it  a  most  fas- 


524  History  of  Cohasset. 

cinating  instrument,  and  once  interested  in  it,  they  will  never  give 
it  up ;  with  violins  it  is  now  acknowledged  to  be  the  instrument  of 
the  future  for  ladies,  and  we  do  not  wonder  that  you  have  so  many 
applicants  for  it.'  Our  success  so  far  has  in  a  great  measure  been 
owing  to  the  fact  that  in  the  choice  of  members  our  directors  have 
selected  only  those  who  have  more  than  an  average  knowledge  of 
music.  Of  our  twelve  young  ladies  who  have  taken  up  the  violin 
and  viola,  there  is  not  one  but  is  a  creditable  performer  on  the  piano, 
while  many  of  them  have  made  music  a  study  for  the  past  ten  years, 
and  are  or  have  been  pupils  of  Petersilea,  Sherwood,  Lang,  Mrs. 
Page,  and  others  of  equal  note  in  Boston.  Among  the  male  mem- 
bers are  three  young  gentlemen  from  Hingham  who  have  been  of 
the  greatest  assistance,  while  the  old  Atlantic  Musical  Association 
builded  better  than  it  knew  when  it  furnished  us  so  much  material 
for  our  orchestra.  We  now  number  about  fifty  active  members, 
nearly  one  half  of  whom  are  ladies.  New  additions  now  proposed 
will  give  us  four  double  basses,  one  tuba,  and  one  oboe.  We  shall 
then  have  every  instrument  usually  found  in  a  full  orchestra. 

"  As  to  new  members,  this  is  our  trouble;  we  want  them  and  many 
young  people  are  hard  at  work;  but  a  musical  education  is  not 
acquired  in  a  few  months;  it  is  a  work  of  years,  and  although  imper- 
fect, its  adaptation  to  an  instrument  renders  success  more  than  half 
achieved,  and  with  a  taste  and  love  for  music  it  is  not  so  difficult  to 
fit  one's  self  for  active  membership. 

"I  now  propose  to  form  a  sort  of  primary  class  and  as  soon  as 
the  members  of  said  class  become  sufficiently  advanced,  their 
names  will  be  submitted  to  the  board  of  directors  for  approval,  and 
if  accepted,  will  at  once  be  assigned  their  work  in  the  orchestra. 
I  am  promised  the  hearty  cooperation  of  the  regular  members,  who 
will  assist  this  class,  and  I  think  it  will  prove  of  mutual  advantage  to 
both.  Our  class  rehearsals  will  take  place  Wednesday  evenings." 
The  quotation  as  above  certainly  shows  the  time,  energy,  and 
enthusiasm  which  Mr.  Tower  devoted  to  this  work. 

In  order  to  participate  in  the  Memorial  Day  Exercises  of  1884, 
a  brass  band  was  organized,  consisting  of  Cohasset  Musical  Asso- 
ciation members.  Twenty-six  men  played  for  the  Grand  Army 
Post  on  this  occasion,  both  for  the  marching  and  at  the  collation  in 
the  Town  Hall.     The  Cottager  remarked  that  the  Band  surprised 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  525 

the  natives  by  their  excellent  music,  but  needed  considerable  prac- 
tice in  marching. 

The  summer  concert  given  by  the  orchestra  in  the  July  following 
proved  most  successful,  and  music  still  more  difficult  was  executed. 
This  concert  was  hardly  over  when  Mr.  Tower  was  again  at  work 
with  the  band,  and  an  open  air  concert  on  the  Common  was  the 
outcome.  After  this  concert  Dr.  Newcomb  L.  Damon  and  Mr. 
Edwin  F.  Souther  were  serenaded.  The  band  then  proceeded  to 
do  the  same  at  Mr.  Louis  N.  Lincoln's  and  not  until  after  midnight 
were  the  members  dispersed. 

In  the  next  month  was  held  the  fair  given  by  Henry  Bryant  Post 
98  G.  A.  R.,  and  on  the  first  night  the  Association  Band  struck  up 
a  lively  march  as  the  Post,  with  their  guests,  entered  the  hall.  The 
programme  of  the  second  night's  entertainment  of  this  fair  con- 
sisted entirely  of  musical  selections  by  the  band. 

The  fall  concert  showed  still  further  advance  in  proficiency,  and 
an  increased  membership  of  fifty-two,  including  six  double  bass 
players.  The  list  of  members  given  in  the  Cottager  of  October  11, 
1884,  may  be  of  interest,  showing  that  the  membership  was  then 
increased  to  sixty-five.

In  an  address  to  the  members  published  in  the  Cottager,  Mr. 
Tower  stated  in  vigorous  language  the  necessity  for  prompt  attend- 
ance at  rehearsals,  and  gave  an  itemized  statement  of  the  amounts 
paid  out  for  the  needs  of  the  Association  during  the  first  year  of  its 
existence.  The  total  amount  was  $2445.00,  including  $1300.00  for 
stringed  instruments  alone. 

No  assessment  of  any  kind  was  ever  required  from  active  mem- 
bers, their  only  expense  having  been  a  small  rental  for  the  use  of  an 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  527 

instrument,  with  the  privilege  of  later  purchasing  said  instrument 
if  so  desired. 

In  the  Presidential  campaign  of  1884  the  band  of  the  Associa- 
tion showed  its  non-partisanship  by  playing  for  both  Republican 
and  Democratic  rallies. 

On  January  23,  1885,  the  Association,  fifty-eight  strong,  gave 
a  concert  at  Loring  Hall,  Hingham,  for  the  benefit  of  the 
fund  for  a  church  parlor  for  the  First  Church  of  Hingham. 

One  week  later  the  services  of  our  musicians  were  again  sought 
after  by  the  People's  Course  of  Entertainments,  and  a  pleasing 
programme  was  rendered. 

For  two  years  more  the  Association  continued  to  give  orchestral 
concerts,  in  each  of  which  approximately  eighty  performers  took 
part,  the  nearby  towns  and  Boston  furnishing  representatives. 
The  assistance  of  professional  musicians  was  requested,  in  order 
to  strengthen  the  weak  places,  and  former  members  will 
recall  many  of  their  names,  such  as  Joseph  Fennelly,  at  one 
time  with  the  Boston  Symphony  Orchestra,  Wulf  Fries,  the 
well  known  'cellist,  Carl  Trautman,  one  .of  the  older  gen- 
eration of  German  musicians;  De  Ribas,  the  oboist,  and 
Eltz,  the  bassoonist.  Mrs.  Nichols,  now  the  director  of  the 
Fadette  Orchestra,  played  with  the  first  violins,  and  was  a  soloist 
at  one  of  the  concerts.  Gerard  Russo,  the  harpist,  at  one  time 
assisted.  Arthur  Foote,  pianist  and  composer,  was  one  of  the 
soloists  at  the  third  annual  autumn  concert,  and  one  of  his  own 
compositions  for  'cello,  "The  Romance,"  was  played  by  Wulf 
Fries,  to  the  accompaniment  of  the  composer.  Miss  Gertrude 
Edmands  was  soloist  at  one  concert. 

The  character  of  the  selections  was  greatly  in  advance  of  those 
of  the  earlier  concerts,  the  Association  on  one  occasion  rendering 
Haydn's  "Symphony  in  D  Major." 

To  the  best  of  our  knowledge  the  last  orchestral  concert  given  by 
the  full  orchestra  took  place  September  27, 1887.  Mr.  Tower,  how- 
ever, was  not  satisfied  with  a  purely  orchestral  organization.  A 
chorus  had  to  be  added,  and  the  following  circular,  sent  out  to 
choir  members  of  Cohasset  and  neighboring  towns,  is  self- 
explanatory: 


528  History  of  Cohasset. 

Cohasset,  December  1,  1887. 
You  are  hereby  invited  to  take  part  in  the  next  rehearsal  of  the  Cohasset 
Musical  Association.  With  the  assistance  already  offered  it  is  hoped  to 
form  a  chorus  of  from  one  to  two  hundred  voices,  and  that  members  of 
any  choir  or  past  musical  organization  will  take  a  prominent  part.  The 
first  preparatory  rehearsal  will  take  place  at  Atlantic  Hall,  Monday  even- 
ing, December  5,  1887.  You  are  cordially  invited  to  be  present. 
Per  order  Board  of  Directors, 

C.  Nichols,  Clerk. 

Mr.  Tower  had  become  very  much  interested  in  choral  society 
work,  having  been  elected,  in  1885,  the  first  director  of  the  newly 
organized  Hingham  Choral  Society. 

"The  Holy  City,"  an  oratorio  composed  by  Alfred  R.  Gaul,  was 
given  at  the  Town  Hall,  Cohasset,  June  17th,  1888.  The  program 
states  that  members  of  the  Hingham  Choral  Society  and  choirs  of 
East  Weymouth,  Wollaston,  and  Scituate  assisted  the  local  singers . 
The  following  soloists  took  part: 

First  Soprano Miss  Jessie  E.  Ollivier. 

Second  Soprano Miss  Meriam  L.  Slade. 

First  Alto Miss  Georgie  Nixon. 

Second  Alto Miss  Pauline  Hammond. 

Tenor Mr.  Arthur  F.  Burnett.

Paul  J.  Bates. 

Walter  C.  Browne. 
Choir  B°ys MasterS  Samuel  C.  Bates. 

Russell  B.  Tower. 
Organist Arthur  M.  Raymond. 


The  oratorio  "  Emmanuel,"  composed  by  J.  Elliot  Trowbridge, 
was  next  given,  June  30,  1889,  and  as  this  was  the  most  ambitious 
undertaking  in  the  history  of  the  Association,  a  portion  of  the  pro- 
gramme is  given  below,  showing  the  scale  on  which  it  was  con- 
ducted.

The  vocal  department  of  the  association  will  be  augmented  by 
members  of  the  Hingham,  East  Weymouth,  and  Wollaston  Musical 
Societies,  making  a  grand  chorus  of  over  150  voices,  with  the  Full 
Association  Orchestra,  numbering  75  members,  and  a  boy  choir  of 
25  voices. 

Rehearsals  were  later  begun  of  another  oratorio,  "The  Ten 
Virgins,"  by  Gaul,  but  the  project  was  abandoned. 

But  few  more  years  were  to  be  allotted  to  Edw.  E.  Tower's  life, 
and  during  this  time  nothing  more  was  done  in  large  orchestra  or 
chorus  work.  His  enthusiasm  for  music  continued  unabated,  and 
we  find  him  directing  a  band,  organized  for  the  occasion,  which 
took  part  in  the  exercises  on  Columbus  Day  in  1892.  This  band 
was  composed  principally  of  former  Atlantic  Musical  Association 
members,  and  members  of  the  Beechwood  Band.  This  latter 
organization  had  done  excellent  work,  and  had  given  many  con- 
certs in  Beechwood  and  elsewhere. 

A  boys'  band  was  next  organized,  with  Mr.  Tower,  as  usual, 
directing,  and  again  followed  a  succession  of  performances  at  enter- 


530  History  oj  Cohasset. 

tainments,  lawn  parties,  and  open  air  concerts.  A  small  orchestra 
was  added,  and  at  a  concert  given  June  20,  1894,  the  band  and 
orchestra  alternately  played  selections.  Miss  Bessie  Bell  Collier 
played  in  the  orchestra  and  rendered  a  violin  solo. 

Forty  years  of  musical  service  of  Edward  E.  Tower  were  thus 
completed.  This  performance  was  the  last  in  which  he  partici- 
pated, his  death  occurring  in  April,  1896.  He  thoroughly  enjoyed 
every  minute  of  this  activity,  but  in  his  band  work  particularly  the 
idea  of  service  to  the  community  undoubtedly  promoted  his  interest 
in  the  musical  welfare  of  the  town.  Mr.  Edmund  P.  Collier  so 
well  expressed  this  idea  in  an  obituary  written  for  the  Boston 
Transcript,  at  the  time  of  Mr.  Tower's  death,  that  the  liberty  is 
taken  of  giving  two  quotations  from  that  notice. 

"  His  idea  was  that  the  best  way  to  keep  a  boy  out  of  the  street 
and  away  from  the  bar  room  was  to  teach  him  the  use  of  some 
musical  instrument,  and  thus  put  him  in  possession  of  a  means 
of  enjoyment  which  would  refine  and  elevate  rather  than 
debase." 

"All  this  work  was  done  in  time  snatched  from  a  very  active 
business  life,  and  was  given  to  the  citizens  of  the  town  gratuitously, 
with  no  reward  asked  for  or  expected,  more  than  the  conscious- 
ness of  having  added  to  their  entertainment  and  musical 
culture." 

The  limited  scope  of  this  article  does  not  permit  me  to  narrate 
in  detail  regarding  the  bands  and  orchestras  that  have  been  organ- 
ized in  recent  years.  Much  could  be  told  of  the  Beechwood  Band 
mentioned  above,  the  Cohasset  Guild  Band,  directed  by  Waldo  F. 
Bates  of  North  Scituate,  in  which  Rev.  Milo  H.  Gates  took  such 
an  active  interest,  and  of  the  "  South  Shore  Band  "  which  George 
P.  Tower  has  conducted,  the  last  named  having  very  recently 
participated  in  the  Taft-Bryan  political  campaign  of  1908. 

Since  about  1890  Elmer  F.  Olmstead  has  directed  an  or- 
chestra of  from  twelve  to  fifteen  members,  nearly  all  of  whom 
belonged  to  the  Cohasset  Musical  Association,  and  much  enjoy- 
ment has  been  derived  by  these  members  at  their  rehearsals  and 
participation  in  church  entertainments  and  oth  er  social  assemblies. 
At  Union  Vesper  services  given  in  the  winter  of  1907-08  by  the 
First   and   Second   Congregational   Churches  of  Cohasset,   this 


Musical  Associations  of  Cohasset.  531 

orchestra  assisted  the  choirs  in  musical  programmes  made  up  of 
compositions  by  classical  composers. 

In  attempting  to  give  a  record  of  these  musical  societies,  doubt- 
less many  events  of  importance  have  unintentionally  been  omitted. 
What  has  been  told,  however,  may  bring  pleasant  recollections  to 
the  minds  of  many  who  took  part  in  the  performances  of  the  seven- 
ties and  eighties.  Possibly  those  of  the  younger  generation  may  be 
surprised  at  the  musical  activity  shown  at  that  time. 

The  influence  of  those  earlier  societies  is  still  felt  and  many  a 
member  of  the  present  day  bands,  choirs,  and  orchestras  can  trace 
the  origin  of  his  interest  in  music  to  the  days  of  the  Atlantic  Musical 
Association,  Cohasset  Choral  Union,  or  Cohasset  Musical  Associa- 
tion. 


COHASSET'S   DEEP   SEA   CAPTAINS. 

By  Edmund  Pomeroy  Collier. 

In  the  year  1800,  or  thereabouts,  young  Southward  Pratt  left 
his  father's  house  in  Cohasset  on  a  morning  in  summer  for  the 
prosaic  purpose  of  driving  the  cows  to  pasture,  a  task  he  had  per- 
formed since  he  had  been  able  to  trudge  at  their  heels  and  put  up 
and  take  down  the  bars  of  the  fence  which  confined  them  in  their 
pasture. 

It  had  been  his  custom  also  to  go  for  the  cows  at  night  and  bring 
them  home,  but  on  that  particular  night  the  cows  stood  at  the  bars 
lowing  in  vain  to  be  let  out  and  taken  home  to  the  barn  to  be 
milked.  But  their  young  driver  did  not  make  his  appearance  that 
evening  nor  for  many  a  day  after,  for  young  Southward  Pratt  had 
responded  to  the  call  of  the  sea,  which  called  to  him  as  he  stood 
at  the  pasture  bars,  and  had  "  run  away  to  sea." 

Three  years  afterward  young  Mercy  Gannett,  who  had  come 
from  Scituate  to  live  out  at  the  Pratts,  in  those  days  when  the 
hired  girl  was  an  equal  of  the  members  of  the  family  for  whom 
she  worked,  started  one  summer  afternoon  to  get  the  cows  and 
bring  them  home.  But  as  she  approached  the  pasture  she  found 
the  bars  being  taken  down  by  a  young  man,  whose  cheeks,  burned 
by  the  sun  and  wind  of  foreign  climes,  showed  that  his  calling 
was  that  of  a  sailor,  who  informed  her  that  he  would  drive  the 
cows  home.  Mercy  hastened  home  with  the  report  that  a  strange 
young  man  had  taken  away  the  cows  from  her. 

It  was  young  Southward  Pratt,  who,  returning  from  three  years 
voyaging  over  foreign  seas,  had  resumed  the  task,  dropped  so 
abruptly  by  him,  of  driving  the  cows.  This  true  story  ended  as 
it  naturally  should  by  Southward  and  Mercy  in  time  becoming 
man  and  wife,  and  is  only  introduced  here  as  the  opening  of  this 
chapter  on  deep  sea  captains  as  an  illustration  of  the  irresistible 
call  of  the  sea  for  the  boys  of  Cohasset. 

That  the  inhabitants  of  Cohasset  should  have  been  a  sea-

CohasseCs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  533 

coast  of  Phoenicia  should  have  furnished  a  nation  of  sailors 
and  merchants. 

In  Cohasset's  early  days  there  was  every  inducement  toward 
shipbuilding  and  seafaring.  The  virgin  forests  stood  ready  to 
supply  the  oak  and  pine  necessary  for  the  construction  of  the 
vessel.  Young  men,  eager  to  take  up  the  adventurous  life  of  the 
sailor,  awaited  the  completion  of  the  craft,  each  one  confident 
that  a  few  years  of  experience  and  hard  work  would  find  him  in 
command  of  a  ship  of  his  own. 

In  the  days  of  small  craft,  before  the  huge  steel  leviathans  were 
even  imagined,  before  the  railways  had  compelled  the  distribution 
of  cargoes  from  a  few  ports,  when  the  little  town  of  Salem  rivaled 
Boston  as  a  port  through  which  trade  with  India  was  carried  on, 
it  was  not  unusual  for  a  seacoast  town  of  the  size  of  Cohasset  to 
send  forth  square-rigged,  deep  sea  vessels,  built  and  manned 
from  captain  to  cabin  boy  by  her  own  sons.  The  constitution 
of  the  State,  recognizing  this  fact,  permitted  the  study  of  navi- 
gation in  its  High  Schools. 

What  a  change  has  the  passing  of  the  years  wrought  in  the  life 
of  Cohasset  in  this  respect!  Where  two  or  three  shipyards  turned 
out  annually  vessels  furnishing  occupation  for  her  ship  carpenters, 
sailors  and  fishermen;  where  wharves,  extending  at  intervals  from 
the  head  of  the  cove  to  Hominy  Point  on  one  side  of  the  harbor 
and  to  the  Gulf  Stream  on  the  other,  served  as  berths  for  a  crowd 
of  merchantmen,  fishermen,  and  packets,  now  the  echo  of  the 
mallet  and  adze  has  long  since  died  away,  and  the  vessels  of 
various  descriptions  which  formerly  filled  the  harbor  have 
departed  never  to  return. 

In  their  place  we  see  a  fleet  of  pleasure  craft  and  power  dories, 
and  Cohasset,  once  a  town  furnishing  employment  to  its  inhabi- 
tants within  its  borders,  serves  now  as  a  bedroom  for  men  and 
women  earning  their  living  in  Boston. 

Twenty-five  years  ago,  sea  captains,  men  who  had  sailed  their 
ships  and  carried  the  flag  of  their  country  to  every  part  of  the 
globe,  were  a  common  sight  on  our  streets.  To-day  Cohasset 
cannot  boast  of  a  man  living  within  its  borders  who  has  ever 
commanded  a  square-rigged  vessel,  and  but  few  sailors  who  have 
been  in  foreign  ports.    This  change,  while  it  is,  perhaps,  to  be 


534  History  of  Cohasset. 

regretted,  is  one  which  has  been  brought  about  by  the  new  con- 
ditions under  which  business  of  every  kind  is  transacted  to-day. 

Since  the  seafaring  vocation  of  Cohasset  and  the  men  who 
followed  it  are  no  more,  it  behooves  us  to  make  a  matter  of 
record  of  the  men  and  the  vessels  hailing  from  Cohasset  in  those 
good  old  days.  But,  alas,  we  have  taken  up  this  task  too  late.  Of 
the  very  early  masters  there  is  barely  more  than  the  record  of 
their  names.  In  some  cases  the  families  to  which  they  belonged 
have  died  out,  or  have  departed  from  the  town,  and  it  is  not 
strange  that  no  record  is  left  behind  of  their  vessels  and  voyages, 
for  in  but  a  few  instances  can  be  obtained  complete  records  of 
the  voyages  of  captains  whose  children  are  living  to-day.  If, 
therefore,  this  chapter  fails  to  give  as  full  a  record  of  each  cap- 
tain as  might  be  desired,  it  is  only  because  such  records  are  not 
obtainable. 

Not  a  few  square-rigged  vessels  were  built  at  Cohasset  and 
hailed  from  it,  but  the  schooner  then,  as  to-day,  was  the  popular 
craft.  Most  of  the  schooners  were  built  primarily  for  fishing, 
but  in  the  winter,  instead  of  letting  this  property  lie  idle,  it  was 
the  custom  to  intrust  it  to  the  care  of  some  bright  young  Cohasset 
skipper  for  the  purpose  of  trading  in  the  Gulf  of-  Mexico.  A 
cargo  would  be  obtained  in  Boston  for  some  port  in  the  Southern 
States,  Charleston,  Mobile,  Savannah,  New  Orleans,  or  Galveston, 
and  between  these  ports  and  the  ports  of  the  West  Indies  trading 
voyages  were  made  until  it  was  time  for  the  schooner  to  return  to 
Cohasset  to  fit  out  for  the  fishing  season. 

As  a  rule  the  captain  of  the  vessel  was  given  some  interest  in 
the  profits  of  the  winter's  work,  as  was  right  and  proper,  for  the 
success  of  the  winter's  trading  depended  largely  on  his  keenness, 
prudence,  and  devotion  to  his  employer's  interests.  Contact  with 
the  merchants  and  shipowners  of  Boston  soon  brought  about  an 
opportunity  to  serve  as  mate  in  some  larger  vessel  bound  for 
ports  in  Europe,  and  so,  step  by  step,  the  lad  who  started  at  the 
lowest  round  of  the  ladder  as  boy  in  a  fishing  schooner,  in  time 
attained  the  topmost  round,  and  walked  the  quarter-deck  of  a 
Yankee  clipper  ship,  the  acme  at  that  time  of  naval  construction. 

Nothing  shows  the  difference  between  the  old  and  the  new 
more  than  the  early  age  at  which  boys  began  to  follow  the  sea. 


Cohas set's  Deep  Sea  Captains.  535 

Frank  Pratt  went  to  sea  at  eight,  James  Collier  at  nine,  and  John 
P.  T.  Percival  at  eleven;  and  these  instances  might  be  multi- 
plied indefinitely.  It  followed  naturally  that  captains  under 
twenty-one  were  not  uncommon.  The  call  of  the  sea  for  the 
young  men  of  Cohasset  seemed  irresistible  in  those  days,  and  the 
dangers  attending  the  life  of  the  sailor  served  rather  to  increase 
than  to  diminish  its  attractiveness. 

Frank  Pratt,  son  of  Dr.  Ezekiel  Pratt  and  father  of  Dr.  Gustavus 
Pratt,  gives  the  following  incident  in  an  account  which  he  left  of 
his  seafaring  life.  "We  were  in  the  Gulf  Stream  in  a  North  east 
gale  with  a  heavy  cross  sea  running.  Soon  the  flying  jib  boom 
and  all  was  carried  away  by  the  sea.  We  were  'hove  to'  at 
the  time  under  close  reefed  fore-sail.  Next  the  halyards  parted, 
went  out  the  scuppers  and  caught  in  the  rudder.  That  left  us 
under  bare  poles.  It  was  then  I  saw  the  captain  do  a  brave  and 
dangerous  piece  of  seamanship,  such  as  I  have  never  seen  done 
since,  in  sixteen  years  of  sea  life.  The  jib  must  be  saved  if  pos- 
sible. No  one  dared  to  go  on  the  bow-sprit  but  the  captain.  I 
stood  in  the  companion-way  and  saw  him  go  out  on  the  end  of 
the  bow-sprit,  stand  up,  holding  on  to  the  jib-stay  with  both 
hands,  knife  in  his  mouth,  go  under  three  times,  all  out  of  sight, 
hold  on  and  cut  the  sail  from  the  hanks." 

Such  incidents  as  these  served  as  themes  for  many  a  winter's 
tale  around  Cohasset  firesides  fifty  to  seventy-five  years  ago. 
Many  of  these  sea  captains  attained  to  a  competency  from  the 
very  fact  that  the  deep  sea  vessels  of  those  days  were  so  small, 
and  it  was  possible  for  them  to  own  a  respectable  interest  in  them 
and  share  profits  of  the  voyages. 

As  has  been  said,  of  the  earliest  sea  captains  very  little  has 
come  down  to  us  but  the  record  of  their  births  and  deaths.  In 
the  houses  of  their  descendants  hang  their  portraits,  painted, 
usually  in  Antwerp,  and  perhaps  the  picture  of  one  of  the  square- 
riggers  commanded  by  them. 

Among  these  captains  may  be  mentioned  Aaron  Pratt,  born  in 
1760,  and  died  in  1843.  From  the  register  of  the  Boston  Custom 
House  we  glean  these  items,. that  Aaron  Pratt  was  captain  of  the 
schooner  Enterprise  in  1809,  of  the  brig  Eliza  and  Lydia  in  1810, 
and  of  the  Triton  in  181 1.     As  only  vessels  going  to  foreign  ports 


536  History  of  Cohasset. 

were  registered  at  the  Boston  Custom  House,  we  may  safely  put 
him  down,  as  well  as  the  others  whose  names  follow,  as  deep  sea 
sailors. 

John  Jacob  Lothrop  was  born  in  1763,  and  died  in  1823.  No 
doubt  his  name  would  have  been  found  as  captain  of  some  vessel 
registered  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  were  it  not  for  the  fact 
that  the  books  of  registration  covering  the  period  from  1789  to 

1806  are  at  Washington,  for  use  in  the  French  Spoliation  claims, 
which  have  been  dragging  along  now  for  over  a  century.  Cap- 
tain Lothrop's  portrait,  painted  in  Antwerp,  hangs  in  the  house  of 
his  grand  daughter,  Mrs.  Richard  Sankey.  In  1789  he  is  spoken  of 
as  master  of  the  schooner  Priscilla,  in  1794  of  the  schooner  Betsey, 
in  1795  of  the  sloop  Clara,  in  1798  of  the  schooner  Bethiah. 

In  the  year  1807  there  came  to  Cohasset,  from  Truro,  on  the 
Cape,  two  brothers,  Ephraim  Snow,  born  in  1777,  and  Henry 
Snow,  born  in  1781.  They  purchased  the  house  now  occupied 
by  Dr.  William  Bryant,  on  Black  Horse  Lane,  now  called,  in 
remembrance  of  them,  Snow  Place. 

The  elder  of  these  brothers  is  known  to  have  been  a  deep  sea 
captain,  and  is  said  to  have  crossed  the  Atlantic  fifty  times.     In 

1807  the  registry  of  the  Boston  Custom  House  has  him  as  master 
of  the  schooner  Ruth,  a  Cohasset  vessel  of  115  tons,  owned  and 
built  in  1805  by  Levi  Tower.  In  1810,  still  in  command  of  the 
schooner  Ruth,  an  attempt  is  made  by  the  press  gang  in  Liverpool 
to  take  from  him  some  members  of  his  crew,  and  in  181 5  we 
find  this  same  vessel  registered  with  E.  Snow  still  as  captain,  but 
with  her  rig  changed  to  that  of  a  brig.  The  supposition  is  that 
from  1807  up  to  and  including  1815,  and  probably  beyond  that 
time,  Captain  Snow  was  master  of  the  Ruth,  and  made  in  her 
foreign  voyages. 

Two  other  vessels  which  he  commanded,  and  in  which  he 
made  voyages  to  Liverpool,  were  the  ships  Mt.  Vernon  and 
Warren.  On  one  of  his  voyages  he  brought  from  Spain  the  boy 
Salvador  Sabate  y  Morell,  of  Willaseca,  Tarragona,  born  1790, 
and  naturalized  April  9,  1816,  as  Samuel  Snow.  This  young 
Spaniard  evidently  took  naturally  to  the  water,  for  we  find  him  in 
1816,  the  year  of  his  naturalization,  captain  of  the  new  fishing 
schooner  Independence.    Later  we  find  Samuel  Snow  registered 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  537 

as  captain  of  the  schooner  Good  Intent,  the  schooner  Six  Brothers, 
of  the  brig  Mayflower,  December  8,  1823,  and  of  the  schooner 
Joseph,  November  3,  1824.    He  was  lost  at  sea  October  3,  1825. 

Captain  Ephraim  Snow  was  the  father  of  a  second  Captain 
Ephraim  Snow,  and  father-in-law  of  Captain  J.  P.  T.  Percival. 

Captain  Henry  Snow,  brother  of  Ephraim  Snow,  we  can  learn 
but  little  about,  and  that  only  from  the  record  department  of  the 
Boston  Custom  House.  There  he  is  recorded  as  captain  of  the 
following  Cohasset  vessels  registered  for  foreign  voyages,  schooner 
Speedwell,  181 1;  schooner  Three  Sisters,  1816;  schooner  Frank- 
lin, 1820;  brig  Rebecca,  1820;  schooner  Almira,  1821;  brig  Ann, 
1822  and  1824.  He  was  father  of  Captain  Henry  Snow  and 
father-in-law  of  Captain  Nichols  Pratt. 

Peter  Pratt,  son  of  Captain  Aaron  mentioned  above,  is  said  to 
have  been  very  severe  in  his  treatment  of  his  men,  and  to  obtain 
a  crew  was  obliged  to  resort  to  the  subterfuge  of  remaining  below 
until  his  ship  was  at  sea  and  then  appearing  on  the  quarter-deck, 
to  the  consternation  of  his  sailors. .  In  18 15  he  was  captain  of  the 
New  Orleans  Packet,  in  1829  of  the  ship  Hellespont,  in  1833  of 
the  ship  Propontis,  and  in  1834  of  the  ship  Conohasset.  In  1834 
and  1835  he  paid  hospital  money  at  the  port  of  Cohasset  as  captain 
of  the  Schooner  Ellen. 

Captain  Ezekiel  Wallis  (or  Wallace)  lived  in  the  house  at  the 
southerly  end  of  South  Main  Street,  near  the  Scituate  line,  now 
partially  burnt,  and  known  for  some  years  as  the  "  Highland 
House."  He  was  born  in  1784  and  died  in  1859.  In  the  first 
volume  of  this  history  he  is  spoken  of  as  captain  of  the  schooner 
Nancy,  in  the  year  1814,  which  was  captured  by  the  English  and 
taken  to  Halifax.     In  181 4  he  was  captain  of  the  brig  George. 

James  Collier,  born  at  North  Scituate  in  1775,  died  there  in 
1850.  He  married  Sally  Lincoln  of  Cohasset,  a  daughter  of 
Allan  Lincoln,  who  was  captured  on  board  his  vessel  by  the 
English  during  the  Revolution  and  died  in  an  English  prison. 
Her  mother  was  Persis  Tower,  who,  after  her  husband's  death,  is 


538  History  of  Cohasset. 

said  to  have  sailed  a  schooner  to  Gloucester,  to  obtain  supplies  for 
the  inhabitants  of  Cohasset  cut  off  by  the  English  blockade. 
After  the  Revolution  she  married  Captain  James  Hall,  one  of 
Washington's  staff  officers,  and  thus  became  the  ancestress  of  two 
lines  of  sailors. 

In  the  year  1803  he  was  owner  and  captain  of  the  Light  Horse. 
At  the  age  of  31,  in  the  year  1806,  he  was  captain  of  the  ship 
William  Tell  of  Scituate,  a  vessel  of  258  tons.  Possibly  on  this 
voyage  he  visited  Antwerp,  for  his  picture,  painted  in  that  city 
at  about  that  time,  is  still  in  the  possession  of  his  grand-chil- 
dren. Later  he  bought  the  wharf  in  Cohasset  formerly  owned  by 
Luther  Stephenson  and  others,  and  became  a  vessel  owner,  as  well 
as  master,  for  in  1814  the  schooner  Little  Sarah  is  registered  at 
the  Boston  Custom  House  with  James  Collier  as  builder,  owner 
and  master.  In  182 1  he  is  again  registered  as  her  captain,  and 
in  1824  of  the  Young  James.  All  these,  as  well  as  the  Elizabeth, 
built  in  1829,  were  named  for  his  children. 

Although  his  living  came  from  the  sea,  he  wished  that  his  sons 
might  not  be  obliged  to  follow  it,  and  gave  four  of  them  trades, 
which  they  promptly  put  one  side  and  proceeded  to  enroll  them- 
selves in  the  ranks  of  Cohasset's  sailors. 

Captain  Levi  Pratt  was  born  in  1798  and  died  in  1869.  He  is 
recorded  in  the  Boston  Custom  House  as  captain  of  the  following 
vessels:  ship  Fama,  1825;  schooner  Bashaw,  1829;  schooner 
High  Flyer,  1832;  the  ship  Concordia,  185 1;  the  ship  Chaos, 
771  tons,  1840;  ship  Amazon,  1855.  Two  other  ships  which  he 
commanded  were  the  Robert  and  the  Triton,  or  Trenton. 

Captain  Daniel  T.  Lothrop  was  born  in  1796,  and  died  in 
1 87 1.  His  first  command  of  which  we  have  any  record  is  the 
Cohasset-built  schooner  Three  Sisters  in  1820,  owned  in  part  by 
his  father.  He  then  entered  the  employ  of  the  Grays,  of  New- 
buryport  and  Boston,  for  whom  he  sailed  the  brig  Cornelia  in  1823, 
the  brig  Charlotte,  274  tons,  in  1826  and  1830,  the  ship  Streglitz  in 
1835,  and  the  ship  Oriosto,  361  tons,  in  1839. 

In  the  later  years  of  his  life,  after  his  retirement  from  the  sea, 
he  acted  as  Underwriter's  Agent,  and  was  until  his  death  one  of 
the  solid,  public-spirited  citizens  of  the  town.

Captain  Thomas  Stoddard,  born  in  Cohasset  in  1787,  died  in 
1854.  In  the  later  years  of  his  life  he  was  always  referred  to 
as  Lieutenant  Stoddard,  a  title  gained  in  the  revenue  service. 
He  is  recorded  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Juno  in  the  years  181 1 
and  1820. 

Captain  George  Hall  was  the  son  of  Persis  (Tower)  Lincoln 
and  Captain  James  Hall,  and  was  born  in  Cohasset  in  1790,  in 
the  house  on  the  Plain,  now  owned  by  Mrs.  Nina  E.  Lincoln.  In 
his  younger  days  he  made  voyages  to  the  Mediterranean.  On 
one  of  these  voyages  his  vessel  was  captured  by  pirates,  who 
signified  their  intention  of  stripping  the  vessel  and  setting  it 
adrift.  It  seemed  as  if  the  captain  and  crew  were  about  to  face 
death  by  starvation  in  midwinter.  Most  opportunely  it  was 
discovered  that  Captain  Hall  and  the  captain  of  the  pirate  crew 
were  masons.  Immediately  the  aspect  of  affairs  was  changed, 
and  Captain  Hall  was  allowed  to  go  on  his  way  rejoicing,  bring- 
ing his  vessel  safely  into  port. 

In  181 5  he  was  awarded  a  gold  medal  by  the  Massachusetts 
Humane  Society  for  his  bravery  in  assisting  in  the  rescue  of  two 
sailors  shipwrecked  off  Cohasset  rocks.  In  1818  he  commanded 
the  schooner  Little  Sarah,  and  in  182 1  the  schooner  Morgiana. 
In  1828  he  abandoned  foreign  voyages,  and  for  many  years 
sailed  a  packet  between  Cohasset  and  Boston. 

He  afterwards  engaged  in  the  fishing  business  with  his  brother, 
Abraham,  having  a  wharf  and  store  at  Hominy  Point,  near  where 
now  stands  the  Cohasset  Yacht  Club  House.  He  married 
Cynthia  Collier  of  Scituate  (whose  brother,  Captain  James 
Collier  had  married  his  half-sister,  Sallie  Lincoln),  and  built  the 
house  on  Highland  Avenue,  still  known  as  the  old  George  Hall 
house,  where  he  reared  a  family  of  sixteen  children.  Some  of 
his  sons  are  well  remembered  to-day  as  sailors  and  shipbuilders. 
To  him  descended  from  his  father,  the  Revolutionary  officer,  his 
membership  in  the  order  of  the  Cincinnati.  He  died  at  Cohasset 
in  1854. 

Captain  Samuel  Hall,  the  youngest  son  of  Captain  James 
Hall,  is  on  record  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  as  captain  and 
part  owner  of  the  schooner  Charlotte,  from  1830  to  1834  engaged 
in  foreign  commerce. 


540  History  of  Cohasset. 

Captain  Philip  Fox.  The  most  picturesque  figure  on  the  list  of 
Cohasset's  deep  sea  captains  is  Captain  Philip  Fox.  He  was  born 
in  Lincolnshire,  England,  in  1795,  and  married  April  9,  18 15,  Anna, 
the  daughter  of  Joel  Willcutt,  of  Cohasset.  How  this  young 
sailor  from  England  came  to  Cohasset  and  married  a  Cohasset 
girl,  we  know  not,  nor  whether  at  that  time  he  was  a  sailor  before 
the  mast  or  a  mate,  but  probably  the  latter. 

His  father-in-law,  Joel  Willcutt,  kept  a  diary  in  which  were 
recorded  happenings  worthy  of  note  in  his  family,  and  in  the  town. 
From  this  diary  we  learn  that  Fox  sailed  from  Boston  May  11, 

1818,  in  the  ship  Milo  bound  for  Charleston,  S.  C.  From  the 
Custom  House  Register  at  Boston  we  learn  that  the  ship  Milo  was 
owned  by  David  Hinckley  and  commanded  by  Captain  Bronson. 
Without  doubt  Philip  Fox  was  her  first  mate. 

The  next  year  Captain  Bronson  and  Philip  Fox  were  transferred 
to  the  ship  Herald.  The  Herald  was  a  new  vessel  of  302  tons, 
built  in  1818  at  Newbury,  and  owned  by  David  Hinckley,  Samuel 
Appleton  and  David  P.  Parker.  On  the  outward  voyage  Captain 
Bronson  was  lost  overboard  and  Philip  Fox  assumed  command. 
His  first  voyage  as  captain  was  made  in  36  days,  arriving  in  Boston 
from  Liverpool  April  4,  1819. 

On  his  second  voyage  the  time  was  45  days  from  Liverpool  to 
Boston,  where  he  arrived  August  16.  The  new  ship  Herald  in 
these  two  voyages  had  not  shown  any  evidence  of  the  speed  which 
was  in  her,  nor  had  her  captain  established  the  reputation,  which 
was  soon  to  be  his,  as  a  driver. 

On  the  next  voyage  from  Liverpool  to  Boston  the  Herald  arrived 
December  23,  bringing  London  papers  dated  the  4th  and  Liver- 
pool papers  dated  the  6th.  The  Boston  Gazette  under  the  marine 
head  announced  the  passage  "seventeen  days  from  Liverpool, 
fourteen  to  Cape  Cod."  The  Sentinel,  Patriot  and  Daily  Adver- 
tiser all  give  her  17  days.  Under  the  marine  head  of  the  Adver- 
tiser it  is  stated  thus:  "The  Herald  sailed  from  Liverpool  Decem- 
ber 6  and  arrived  in  our  Bay  yesterday  (23)  morning.  This  is 
the  shortest  passage  from  any  port  in  England  within  our  recol- 
lection." 

Lastly  Joel  Willcutt  in  his  diary  under  date  of  December  23, 

1819,  has  this  entry:  "Captain  Fox  arrived  at  Boston  in  seventeen 


CAPT.    PHILIP    FOX. 
I  795-1832. 


SHIP    "  EMERALD."

days  from  Liverpool."  There  is  no  doubt  therefore  that  her 
passage  of  seventeen  days  is  given  as  correctly  as  could  be  without 
ascertaining  the  precise  hour  at  which  she  left  Liverpool  and  the 
hour  she  arrived  in  Boston,  which  if  ascertained  would  probably 
make  it  a  few  hours  more  or  less  than  seventeen  days. 

Philip  Fox,  at  the  age  of  twenty-four,  as  captain  of  the  ship 
Herald,  had  made  the  quickest  passage  ever  made  from  England 
to  America.  It  was  on  his  arrival  at  this  time  when  hailed  to  know 
when  he  left,  that  he  replied,  "Week  before  last."  Captain  Fox 
had  an  appreciation  of  a  joke  even  though  he  was  of  English  birth. 

January  13,  1820,  he  is  off  again,  this  time  for  Charleston. 
May  16  records  his  arrival  at  Boston,  probably  from  Liverpool, 
to  which  port  no  doubt  the  Herald  sailed  from  Charleston,  as  the 
trip  from  Boston  to  Charleston,  thence  to  Liverpool  with  cotton, 
and  home  again  with  passengers  and  miscellaneous  freight,  was 
a  common  trip  in  those  days. 

May  29  he  sails  again  for  Charleston,  and  October  4  finds 
him  in  Boston  again,  the  round  trip  taking  as  before  about  four 
months.  November  5  he  left  for  Charleston,  and  his  arrival 
home  is  not  recorded  until  May  7,  1821,  a  six  months'  trip  this 
time,  possibly  to  different  ports,  possibly  delayed  waiting  for 
cargo,  for  we  cannot  imagine  him  making  a  slow  passage.  June  10th 
Captain  Fox  left  Boston  for  Liverpool,  accompanied  by  his  wife 
and  little  son,  Charles,  and  September  19  Joel  Willcutt  records: 
"  Captain  Fox  arrived  at  Boston  and  came  home  with  his  wife 
and  Charles  this  evening,"  and  October  1,  "Captain  Fox  moved 
into  Joshua  Oakes'  house." 

Charles  Fox,  the  eldest  son  of  Captain  Fox,  used  to  relate  in 
after  years  his  remembrances  of  this  trip  to  England  at  the  age  of 
six.  A  trip  was  made  into  Lincolnshire,  where  the  little  boy  was 
struck  with  the  oddity  of  a  flight  of  stairs  going  up  on  the  outside 
of  his  grandfather's  house.  He  also  had  a  vivid  recollection  of  the 
stage  coach  in  which  they  made  their  journey,  being  chased  by 
highwaymen  from  whom  by  the  fleetness  of  their  horses,  they 
escaped. 

October  23d  he  sailed  again  for  Charleston,  and  his  next  home- 
coming is  noted  on  the  17th  of  April,  1822.  After  his  usual  three 
weeks'  stay  on  shore  he  started  again  for  Charleston,  May  5, 


542  History  of  Cohasset. 

taking  Mrs.  Fox  with  him,  and  made  the  round  trip  in  less  than 
four  months,  arriving  in  Boston  August  27th.  This  was  Captain 
Fox's  last  voyage  on  the  Herald. 

Another  line  of  Liverpool  packets  was  owned  by  James  Read 
and  others,  the  ships  being  given  the  names  of  precious  stones. 
To  Captain  Fox  was  given  the  command  of  the  ship  Emerald. 
The  ship  Emerald  was  built  in  Boston  in  1822,  and  was  a  vessel 
of  359  tons.  She  seems  like  a  pigmy  to  us  to-day,  but  in  her  day, 
evidently,  was  a  good-sized  ship.  The  list  of  her  eighty-four 
owners  is  a  list  of  the  blueblood  merchant  princes  of  eighty-five 
years  ago.  And  Philip  Fox  was  the  captain  chosen  to  bring  out 
what  was  in  her.  October  n,  1822,  she  was  registered,  and  on 
the  13th  she  starts  on  her  maiden  voyage.  April  23,  1823,  he 
arrived  home  from  Liverpool,  a  six  months'  trip.  Nothing 
wonderful  about  that.  Evidently  the  Emerald  was  not  yet 
tuned  up.  April  20th  he  is  off  again,  and  arrives  home  the  week 
of  August  22d,  not  doing  so  well  as  the  Amethyst,  which  left  May 
5th  and  arrived  August  22d.  On  this  voyage  in  the  Amethyst  sailed 
Joseph  Willcutt,  Captain  Fox's  brother-in-law,  probably  as  a 
mate,  and  on  the  next  voyage  of  the  Emerald,  Captain  Fox  signed 
him  as  mate. 

The  Emerald  has  now  been  in  commission  a  year;  she  has 
Cohasset  men  as  captain  and  mate.  Let's  see  what  she  can  do. 
Joel  Willcutt  tells  in  one  line:  "1824,  March  10th,  Captain  Fox 
arrived  from  Liverpool  in  sixteen  days." 

This  record  of  Joel  Willcutt's  as  to  the  length  of  the  two  quick 
passages  bears  testimony  to  the  fact  that  Captain  Fox  considered 
this  trip  of  the  Emerald  quicker  by  one  day  than  the  one  made  in 
the  Herald  in  18 19. 

The  Emerald  arrived  on  the  8th  of  March,  .1824.  The  daily 
Advertiser,  Patriot  and  Palladium  of  the  9th  and  Gazette  of  the  nth 
give  her  sixteen  days.  The  Centinel  of  the  10th  gives  her  fifteen 
days,  fourteen  hours.  The  Palladium  of  the  12th  contains  the 
following,  "We  have  examined  the  log  book  of  the  Emerald  and 
find  she  sailed  from  Liverpool  Friday,  February  20th,  at  3  P.M. 
came  round  the  rock,  at  4  discharged  the  pilot.  At  4  A.M.,  2iet, 
passed  Holyhead.  March  8th,  3  P.M.,  hove  to  off  Boston  Light. 
At  4  took  a  pilot  and  at  6  anchored  below  Fort  Independence." 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  543 

Taking  the  hour  of  rounding  the  rock  on  the  20th  as  the  time 
of  leaving  port  and  the  hour  of  dropping  the  anchor  on  the  8th 
as  the  time  of  arrival,  and  taking  into  account  that  1824  was 
leap  year,  the  log  would  seem  to  make  the  passage  of  the  Emerald 
seventeen  days  and  three  hours,  or  no  shorter  than  the  passage 
of  the  Herald.  For  years  afterward  these  two  short  passages 
were  the  theme  for  argument  and  the  matter  was  threshed  over 
and  over. 

In  185 1  Samuel  Topliff,  an  authority  on  marine  matters, 
prompted  by  a  discussion  at  that  time  going  on  in  the  Boston  papers, 
made  an  exhaustive  examination  of  all  the  records  at  hand,  with 
the  above  result,  that  there  was  probably  no  actual  difference  in 
the  length  of  the  two  passages.  Whether  this  is  the  last  word  or 
not,  we  do  not  know,  but  as  we  have  said  above,  Captain  Fox 
evidently  put  down  the  trip  of  the  Herald  as  seventeen  days  and 
of  the  Emerald  as  sixteen. 

£  At  all  events,  and  in  either  case,  it  was  he  who  made  the  quick 
passage.  In  both  cases  the  passages  were  spoken  of  as  fourteen 
days  to  Cape  Cod,  and  this  article  had  been  once  written,  put  in 
type,  and  the  proof  struck  off,  based  on  a  magazine  article,  which 
was  largely  based  on  fancy  evidently,  wherein  Captain  Fox  is 
depicted  as  throwing  on  the  wharf  at  Boston  a  package  of  English 
newspapers  not  fourteen  days  old.  A  story  current  in  Cohasset, 
and  which  must  have  some  basis  of  truth  in  it,  for  Cohasset  and 
Scituate  men  served  under  Captain  Fox,  was  that  coming  into 
Boston  Harbor  at  the  termination  of  one  of  these  quick  passages, 
Captain  Fox  did  not  wait  for  the  tide  to  serve  for  the  vessel  to  get 
up  to  the  wharf,  but  ran  her  on  to  the  mud  and  taking  a  row  boat 
hurried  ashore  and  reported  his  arrival. 

From  the  following  anecdote  it  may  be  inferred  that  the  quick 
passage  of  the  Emerald  was  made  in  a  continuous  gale  from  shore 
to  shore,  and  that  Captain  Fox  carried  sail  all  the  time,  indeed, 
the  man  at  the  wheel  had  to  be  lashed  to  prevent  his  being  swept 
overboard.  As  the  Emerald  was  coming  up  Massachusetts  Bay, 
Captain  Fox  appearing  on  deck  in  the  morning  caught  sight  of  the 
lee  rail.     "Why  here's  a  stranger,"  he  cried. 

It  has  been  said  that  so  great  an  interest  had  been  aroused  by  the 
performances  of  the  clipper  ships  under  the  command  of  Captain 


544  History  of  Cohasset 

Fox  that  hundreds  assembled  on  India  Wharf  to  witness  the 
leaving  of  the  Emerald  on  what  was  to  be  the  quickest  passage. 

Some  there  were,  probably,  who  made  all  kinds  of  dismal  pro- 
phecies as  to  the  ultimate  end  of  the  ship  driven  by  so  reckless  a 
captain.  Others,  no  doubt,  called  to  mind  the  fact  that  although 
Captain  Fox  was  a  driver  he  had  never  yet  lost  a  spar  or  sail. 
As  the  ship  disappeared  down  the  harbor  under  her  own  sail,  for 
there  were  no  steam  tugs  in  those  days  to  tow  vessels  out  of  port, 
or  into  their  wharves,  the  crowd  turned  away,  calculating  the  time 
when  the  Emerald  would  poke  her  nose  into  the  wharf  she  had 
just  left.  But  the  most  sanguine  never  imagined  how  short  that 
time  would  be. 

In  those  days  no  wireless  messages  conveyed  the  news  from 
Cape  Cod  of  a  home-bound  ship's  return;  no  telegram  from 
Hull  told  of  her  nearing  her  destination.  It  was  only  when  she 
came  up  the  harbor,  under  more  sail  than  most  captains  care  to 
carry  when  coming  into  port,  that  the  owners  were  informed 
that  the  Emerald  was  returning.  It  never  occurred  to  them  that 
she  was  returning  from  Liverpool,  but  that  she  was  returning  to 
repair  the  damage  occasioned  by  some  mishap.  Therefore,  as 
soon  as  the  Emerald  was  within  hailing  distance,  Captain  Fox 
was  greeted  with  the  inquiry,  "What's  the  matter?"  For  answer 
he  tossed  on  the  wharf  a  package  of  English  papers  not  eighteen 
days  old,  and  bade  them  look  at  the  dates. 

It  has  been  said  that  the  insurance  companies  after  this  record 
trip  of  the  Emerald  refused  to  insure  any  vessels  captained  by 
Philip  Fox.  Be  that  as  it  may,  Joel  Willcutt  records  his  starting 
off  again  March  21st,  and  his  arrival  home  June  3rd,  whether  in 
the  Emerald  or  not  he  does  not  say,  but  Captain  Fox  evidently 
kept  at  his  vocation  as  sea  captain  until  his  death,  which  occurred 
in  the  Mediterranean  in  1832 

There  is  no  one  alive  who  remembers  Captain  Fox,  but  stories 
concerning  him  are  plentiful  in  Cohasset,  and  from  these  one 
gathers  that  he  was  a  man  of  quick  impulses,  generous  to  a  fault, 
ever  ready  to  do  a  friend  a  good  turn.  This  latter  trait  is  evi- 
denced by  the  fact  that  he  obtained  ships,  or  places  on  ships,  for 
his  brother-in-law  and  the  husbands  of  his  sisters-in-law. 

When  he  arrived  in  Boston  he  was  always  in  Cohasset  the  same 


C  okas  set*  s  Deep  Sea  Captains.  545 

day,  and  if  he  was  not  able  to  hire  a  horse  and  chaise  for  the 
journey,  he  would  buy  one.  He  bought  the  house  on  North  Main 
Street,  now  occupied  by  his  granddaughters,  while  it  was  in 
process  of  construction,  and  had  it  finished  to  suit  his  peculiar 
ideas.  Either  before  or  after  he  was  in  the  Liverpool  trade  he 
probably  made  journeys  to  India,  for  he  brought  home  articles  of 
furniture  which  must  have  come  from  that  locality. 

The  Amethyst  and  the  Emerald  were  sold  into  the  whaling  trade 
and  the  Amethyst  was  lost  among  the  ice  upon  the  northwest  coast 
in  1886.  The  Emerald  was  purchased  by  John  A.  Parker  an 
eminent  merchant  of  New  Bedford,  in  1827,  and  she  became 
famous  in  the  new  business  she  was  so  long  employed  in,  whaling. 
Lucky  as  a  whaler  as  she  had  been  as  a  packet,  in  seven  voyages 
her  average  fare  was  2700  barrels  of  whale  and  sperm  oil. 

In  1862  she  was  sold  to  parties  in  Honolulu,  S.  L,  and  her  new 
debut  was  under  the  native  name  of  one  of  the  ancient  kings  there. 
Whether  she  is  going  now  or  not,  we  do  not  know,  but  certainly 
she  must  have  been  a  strongly  built  vessel  to  have  survived  Philip 
Fox's  driving  her  with  all  sail  set  in  the  midst  of  a  gale  and  running 
on  the  mud  in  the  place  of  the  more  prosaic  method  of  letting  go 
the  anchor. 

The  picture  of  her  which  is  reproduced  here  is  from  the  collection 
of  oil  paintings  of  old  ships  in  the  possession  of  Mr.  William  O. 
Taylor,  of  the  Boston  Globe,  who  very  kindly  had  the  painting 
photographed  in  order  that  a  half-tone  might  be  obtained  for  this 
chapter.  The  vessel  is  represented  as  being  in  holiday  attire  on  the 
occasion  of  some  celebration,  possibly  the  laying  of  the  foundation 
of  the  Bunker  Hill  Monument  June  17,  1775,  when  Lafayette 
laid  the  corner  stone  and  Daniel  Webster  made  the  oration.  The 
National  ensign  floating  at  the  stern  with  its  nineteen  stripes  is 
interesting  as  showing  the  number  of  states  in  the  Union  at  that 
time,  although  by  the  law  passed  in  1818  the  flag  was  restored  to 
the  original  thirteen  stripes. 

This  passage  of  the  Emerald  is  we  believe  the  quickest  ever  made 
between  Liverpool  and  Boston  by  a  vessel  of  her  size  or  anywhere 
near  her  size. 

The  clipper  ship  Red  Jacket,  3500  tons,  built  in  Bath  in  1854, 
made  the  trip  from  Boston  to  Liverpool  in  a  shorter  time. 


546  History  of  Cohasset. 

Captain  Joseph  Willcutt  was  born  in  Cohasset,  September 
22,  1799.  He  was  a  son  of  Joel  Willcutt,  whose  diary  has  already 
been  referred  to,  and  to  which  the  writer  acknowledges  his  deep 
obligation  for  valuable  bits  of  information  in  preparing  this 
chapter. 

So  far  as  is  known  Joel  Willcutt  never  was  a  sailor,  but  his 
sons  all  were,  and  his  daughters,  with  two  exceptions,  married 
sailors.  Possibly  this  was  due  to  the  fact  that  his  wife,  whose 
name  was  Sutton,  came  from  a  seafaring  family.  His  sons, 
Lewis,  Warren,  Andrew,  Lot,  and  Joseph,  all  became  fishermen 
in  their  youth,  and  Andrew  and  Lewis  made  deep  sea  voyages, 
but  there  is  no  record  that  any  one  of  them,  with  the  exception 
of  Joseph,  ever  became  deep  sea  captains,  although  Andrew  is 
spoken  of  as  captain  of  the  fishing  schooner  Union. 

His  daughter,  Anna,  married  Captain  Philip  Fox,  Betsey 
became  the  wife  of  Captain  James  Pratt,  Isabella  married  Captain 
John  Williams,  who  with  Captain  Charles  Bennett,  the  husband  of 
Myra  Willcutt,  was  lost  at  sea  in  a  trip  to  the  West  Indies  in  1841. 

From  1814,  when  Joseph  was  fifteen  years  old,  to  1819,  we 
find  annual  records  in  the  diary  of  his  fitting  out  each  summer 
for  mackerel  voyages,  but  in  the  latter  year  he  began  to  sail  with 
his  brother-in-law,  Captain  Fox,  in  the  ship  Herald  on  his  voy- 
ages to  Charleston  and  Liverpool.  On  May  9,  1822,  Joseph 
arrived  at  Boston  four  days  after  Captain  Fox  had  sailed  from 
Boston,  so  it  is  probable  that  sometime  in  182 1  Captain  Fox  had 
obtained  a  berth  for  him  in  some  other  vessel,  presumably  as 
mate. 

July  12th  he  returned  from  another  voyage.  October  13th 
he  sailed  for  Savannah  on  the  ship  America.  May  3,  1823,  he 
sailed  for  Charleston  in  the  ship  Amethyst,  arriving  home  by  way 
of  Liverpool,  August  2 2d.  He  then  took  the  position  of  mate 
on  the  Emerald  under  his  brother-in-law,  Captain  Fox,  and  his 
first  voyage  from  Liverpool  to  Boston  was  made  in  sixteen  days. 
The  next  record  we  have  of  Joseph  is  of  his  leaving  Boston,  June 
24,  1824,  for  Liverpool,  and  arriving  in  Boston,  September  24th. 

January  1,  1829,  he  sailed  from  Boston  in  the  ship  Charles 
Henry;  November  30,  183 1,  he  arrived  at  Boston. 

The  last  two  entries  in  the  diary  in  regard  to  him  are:  "1835, 


Cohassefs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  547 

January  29th,  Joseph  came  home  this  day."  "  1841,  April  8th, 
Our  son  Joseph  died." 

In  the  latter  years  of  his  life  he  owned  a  quarter  interest  in 
the  bark  Juno,  of  which  he  was  also  commander.  We  have  no 
record  of  the  exact  date  when  he  first  became  a  captain,  but  it 
was  probably  in  1824,  or  soon  after.  He  married  Myra  Bates 
and  lived  in  the  house  on  the  northerly  corner  of  Highland 
Avenue  and  Beach  Street,  which  she  inherited  from  her  father. 

The  records  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  give  us  this  further 
record  in  regard  to  Captain  Joseph  Willcutt.  In  1836  he  was 
captain  of  the  541-ton  ship  Charlotte,  built  in  1836,  and  owned 
by  Henry  Oxnard,  Abbot  Lawrence,  and  William  Appleton.  In 
March,  1839,  he  is  registered  as  captain  and  part  owner  of  the 
295-ton  bark  Juno,  built  in  Boston  in  the  winter  of  1838-39,  and 
this  was  without  doubt  his  last  command. 

Captain  John  Williams  and  Captain  Charles  Bennett 
married  Isabella  and  Myra,  daughters  of  Joel  Willcutt.  In  a 
voyage  from  New  York  to  the  West  Indies  with  a  heavy  cargo 
of  corn  their  vessel  was  lost,  and  no  tidings  were  ever  obtained 
from  them.  Captain  Williams  was  accompanied  by  his  son, 
Lyman  Davis,  fourteen  years  of  age,  who  pleaded  so  hard  to  be 
taken  along  that  his  father  reluctantly  consented,  against  his  own 
better  judgment,  hoping  that  one  voyage  would  cure  the  boy  of 
his  desire  to  become  a  sailor.  So  in  one  year  Joel  Willcutt  was 
robbed  by  death  of  one  son,  two  sons-in-law,  and  a  grandson. 

The  record  given  of  such  vessels  commanded  by  John  Williams 
as  were  registered  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  is  as  follows: 
(It  must  be  understood  that  a  vessel  is  registered  but  once,  unless 
it  has  changed  owners.)  Brig  Laurel,  July  21,  1823;  brig  Susan, 
June  15,  1824,  brig  Mermaid,  August  6,  1830,  brig  Fortune, 
March  1,  1831;  brig  Elizabeth,  November  11,  1836  (owned  in 
Hingham);  brig  Padang,  January  7,  1832.  October  17,  1837,  he 
is  registered  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Amanda  Ophelia,  named 
for  his  infant  daughter,  a  vessel  of  58  tons,  built  at  Robin- 
ston,  Maine,  the  same  year,  the  others  owners  being  Rufus  Lane, 
Charles  Lane,  and  Caleb  Marsh. 

He  is  registered  August  11,  1838,  as  master  of  the  brig  Russell, 


548  History  of  Cohasset. 

built  at  Cohasset  in  1835,  also  May  11,  1839;    schooner  Har- 
mony, November  9,  1839,  built  at  Cohasset  the  preceding  year. 

Of  the  schooner  Eunice,  built  at  Cohasset  in  1835,  and  owned 
by  Abraham  H.  Tower,  he  was  captain,  September  5,  1840,  and 
September  21,  1841,  captain  and  part  owner.  This  vessel  was 
his  last  command,  and  the  voyage  on  which  he  started  in  her  in 
September,  1841,  was  only  ended  when  his  vessel  laid  her  bones 
on  the  bottom  of  the  sea,  over  which  he  had  sailed  for  so  many 
years. 

Of  Captain  James  Pratt,  the  remaining  son-in-law  of  Joel 
Willcutt,  we  have  been  unable  to  find  any  record,  except  that  he 
was  at  one  time  captain  of  the  brig  Talisman,  and  it  was  while 
he  commanded  this  vessel  that  her  picture  was  painted  representing 
her  as  entering  the  harbor  of  Liverpool,  a  reproduction  of  which 
forms  one  of  the  illustrations  of  this  chapter. 

Captain  John  Lincoln  was  born  in  1784,  and  died  at  sea  in 
1832.  The  name  of  John  Lincoln  is  given  as  captain  of  the  fol- 
lowing vessels  in  the  registers  of  the  Boston  Custom  House,  but  as 
the  name  continues  on  the  records  after  the  death  of  the  Cohasset 
John  Lincoln,  we  cannot  be  sure  that  these  vessels  were  actually 
commanded  by  him:  Schooner  Eliza,  May,  1819;  schooner 
Mary  Ann,  1822;  brig  Boston,  1823;  brig  Billow,  1824;  brig 
Chilo,  1828;  brig  Wave,  1831.  We  also  find  another  John  Lincoln, 
commanding  the  following  Cohasset  vessels:  — Schooner  William, 
1791,  brig  Triton,  1793,  schooner  Neptune,  1795. 

Captain  John  Wilson  was  born  in  1788,  and  died  in  1861. 
In  the  possession  of  his  grandson  are  a  sextant  inscribed,  "  John 
Wilson,  1809,"  one  or  two  old  log  books,  now  almost  indecipher- 
able on  account  of  age  and  water  stains,  an  old  cutlass  left  by  an 
English  officer  on  board  the  Cohasset  packet  during  the  War  of 
18 1 2,  a  certificate  of  American  citizenship  from  the  collector  of 
the  port  of  New  York,  and  a  water-color  picture  of  the  Cohasset 
schooner  Charlotte  (hermophrodite  brig)  in  the  harbor  of  Mar- 
seilles in  1830. 

From  the  first  volume  of  the  Cohasset  history  we  learn  that  he 
was  captured  in  the  Cohasset  packet  in  the  War  of  1812,  and  that

his  vessel  was  redeemed  by  her  owner,  Levi  Tower,  by  the 
payment  of  a  ransom.  Hence  the  cutlass.  In  1819  he  is  men- 
tioned as  captain  of  the  fishing  schooner  Lydia.  The  records  of 
the  Boston  Custom  House  show  him  to  have  been  captain  of 
the  Almira  in  1823.  From  the  log  book  we  learn  that  the  voy- 
ages made  at  this  time  were  from  Norfolk,  Va.,  to  Malaga  and 
back  to  Boston,  and  from  Philadelphia  to  St.  Thomas. 

November  17,  1827,  he  is  recorded  as  captain  of  the  schooner 
Charlotte,  and  we  know  from  the  picture  referred  to  above  that 
he  was  still  captain  of  the  same  craft  in  1830.  In  1836,  1837, 
and  1838,  he  was  captain  of  the  schooner  Eolus,  and  in  1841,  he 
is  registered  not  only  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Caroline,  but  as 
part  owner.    In  1845  he  commanded  the  schooner  Bounty. 

John  (Baptiste)  Barker  was  born  in  Italy  in  1791.  What 
brought  him  to  Cohasset  we  do  not  know,  but  we  do  know  that 
he  settled  here,  married  a  Cohasset  girl,  and  became  a  naturalized 
citizen  of  the  United  States,  under  the  name  of  John  Barker. 
Possibly  his  name  had  been  Giovanni  Baptiste  in  his  native 
Italy.  He  was  most  commonly  known  as  Teesta  Barker.  Not 
a  great  deal  can  be  ascertained  in  regard  to  his  voyages.  Frank 
Pratt,  in  his  journal,  mentions  him  in  1830  as  sailing  master  of 
the  fishing  schooner  Tower,  owned  by  Captain  Nichols  Tower. 
On  this  voyage  he  was  accompanied  by  his  son,  Elijah.  In  this 
vessel,  in  1833  and  1837,  he  made  foreign  voyages. 

For  several  years  he  made  trips  to  the  West  Indies  in  the 
schooner  Juno,  owned  by  Captain  Nichols  Tower,  and  in  his  last 
voyage  in  her  was  run  down  and  nearly  lost  his  life.  The  bark 
Lewis,  also  owned  by  Captain  Nichols  Tower,  was  another  ves- 
sel which  he  commanded  in  184 1.  He  made  several  voyages  in 
vessels  owned  by  Captain  Lothrop.  St.  Thomas,  Porto  Rico, 
and  Curacoa  were  some  of  the  ports  visited  by  him  on  his  voyages. 
In  1845  he  was  captain  of  the  schooner  Herculean,  built  at  Salis- 
bury, and  owned  jointly  by  D.  T.  Lothrop,  Josiah  O.  Lawrence, 
and  Captain  David  B.  Wilson,  and  in  1846  he  is  registered  as 
master  and  managing  owner  of  the  same  vessel.  In  1850  a  John 
Barker  is  mentioned  as  captain  of  the  brig  Moulton. 

His  last  voyages  were  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Grey  Eagle, 


550  History  of  Cohassel. 

owned  by  himself  and  the  Whitons  of  Hingham,  of  which  he  took 
command  in  October,  1852.  On  January  6,  1856,  when  within 
twenty-four  hours'  sail  from  New  York,  his  vessel  was  capsized, 
and  all  on  board  were  lost. 

Captain  Barker  was  one  of  the  many  men  in  Cohasset  who 
distinguished  himself  as  a  life  saver.  When  the  Boston  was 
wrecked  on  the  rocks  off  Cohasset,  Captain  Barker,  assisted  by 
John  Lothrop  and  two  others,  went  out  in  a  boat  to  the  wreck 
and  took  off  the  crew.  For  this  act  Captain  Barker  received  a 
gold  medal,  which  is  now  in  the  possession  of  his  great-grandson 
in  Newark,  N.  J. 

Leavitt  Barnes  was  born  in  1799,  and  was  drowned  off  the 
the  Island  of  St.  Thomas,  August  25,  1827.  He  was  captain  of 
the  Three  Sisters  in  182 1,  of  the  Hero  in  1824,  and  of  the  Juno, 
in  which,  or  from  which,  he  lost  his  life,  in  1827. 

Captain  Warren  Orcutt  was  born  in  1800,  and  died  in  1872. 
He  was  captain  of  the  schooner  Sarah  in  1832,  the  schooner 
Gold  Finch  in  1833,  the  schooner  Caroline  in  March  and  December, 
1836,  the  schooner  Typhoon  in  1859. 

Captain  David  Sutton  was  a  familiar  figure  on  the  streets 
of  Cohasset.  He  occupied  the  house  on  the  corner  of  South 
Main  and  Beechwood  Streets,  the  site  of  which  is  now  occupied 
by  the  house  built  by  William  B.  Johnson,  Esq.  His  father  was 
John  Sutton,  who  came  from  Scituate  to  Cohasset  and  com- 
manded, and  was  part  owner  in  1790  of  the  schooner  Beckey. 

David  S.  Sutton  was  born  in  1802.  He  is  mentioned  as 
captain  of  the  new  ship  Ohio,  in  1848,  and  as  owner  of  one-third, 
and  in  1849  as  captain  and  three-eighths  owner  of  the  same  ves- 
sel. He  is  also  remembered  as  master  of  the  bark  Amazon  out 
of  Boston  to  New  Orleans.  In  1857  he  is  recorded  as  captain  of 
the  bark  J.  A.  Lee. 

Captain  Ezra  Towle,  born  at  Suncook,  N.  H.,  March  30, 1804. 
Married  Sybil  Barnes  of  Cohasset,  December  21,  1828.  He  came 
to  Cohasset  when  fourteen  years  of  age,  where  for  three  years  be 
sailed  in  various  fishing  vessels  during  the  summer  months,  study- 
ing navigation  and  mathematics  with  various  Cohasset  captains 
and  completing  his  education  in  these  branches  in  Boston.      At 


Cohassefs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  551 

eighteen,  he  entered  the  Liverpool  Packet  service;  at  nineteen  was 
first  mate  and  at  twenty-one,  was  a  captain  in  that  service.  A 
number  of  Cohasset  men  sailed  with  him  before  the  mast,  and  as 
mates,  at  various  times  during  the  fourteen  years  he  was  engaged 
in  this  service,  but  no  record  of  his  voyages  is  now  to  be  had,  and 
we  are  dependent  almost  entirely  on  tradition  for  any  information. 

It  is  known  that  at  the  time  of  his  marriage,  in  1828,  he  had  com- 
pleted one  of  the  quickest  runs  on  record  and  had  received  a  cash 
reward  for  the  best  run  of  the  season.  He  was  a  man  of  genial 
disposition  and  warm  heart,  open  handed  and  liberal  in  the  extreme, 
but  like  many  of  the  old  time  captains,  rather  severe  aboard  ship 
and  a  stickler  for  his  rights,  obliging  not  only  his  crew  to  toe  the 
mark,  but  everybody  he  did  business  with. 

At  request  of  his  wife,  he  left  the  Liverpool  service  about  1833  or 
1834  and  entered  the  coasting  trade,  sailing  mainly  to  Southern 
Ports — Savannah,  New  Orleans,  Norfolk,  the  West  Indies,  etc.  An 
incident,  related  to  the  writer  by  one  who  witnessed  it,  will  signify 
a  little  Captain  Towles'  character.  Captain  Towles  was  sent  by  the 
owners  to  New  Orleans  to  bring  back  a  barque,  whose  captain  and 
mate  had  died  of  yellow  jack,  and  whose  crew  had  all  deserted  her. 
He  took  on  two  men,  a  first  mate  and  rigger,  relying  on  picking 
up  a  crew  there  to  handle  her.  He  secured  a  crew  of  nine  men,  all 
tough  specimens,  and  they  made  their  boasts  that  they  would  fix 
the  d d  Yankee  Skipper  before  48  hours. 

The  second  day  out,  the  whole  nine  men  got  in  a  mixed  up  gen- 
eral row  in  the  forecastle.  The  mate,  who  jumped  below,  was 
thrown  on  deck  with  a  broken  collar  bone  and  a  bad  scalp  wound. 
The  narrator  says  Captain  Ez.  made  about  two  jumps  from  the 
mizzenmast  to  the  forecastle,  grabbing  a  capstan  bar  on  his  way. 
He  sprang  below,  and  for  about  15  minutes  there  was  the  liveliest 
mixup  ever  seen,  but  he  was  the  last  man  on  deck,  driving  them 
all  before  him,  and  every  man  bore  some  mark  of  that  handspike. 
But  after  that,  we  had  no  more  trouble  with  that  crew.  They 
realized  their  captain  was  a  man  and  respected  him  as  such. 

In  1839,  1840  and  1841  he  paid  hospital  money  at  the  port  of 
Cohasset  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Rebecca  and  in  1844  of  the 
schooner  Rubicon. 

Captain  Towle  left  the  sea  for  good  in  the  early  fifties,  embarking 
in  business  as  a  contractor,  in  Cohasset.    The  older  members  of  the 


552  History  of  C  oh  as  set. 

community  will  remember  the  line  of  stages  be  conducted,  connect- 
ing with  the  Hingham  and  Nantasket  boats.  By  an  unfortunate 
accident  in  1856,  he  lost  his  left  hand  and  crippled  his  right,  but 
although  handicapped,  he  still  continued,  until  his  death,  actively 
engaged  in  various  business  lines. 

One  monument  to  his  enterprise  is  the  cut  at  Cunningham's 
bridge.  This  outlet  through  the  beach  at  this  point  having  been 
made  by  Captain  Towle,  connecting  the  waters  of  Little  Harbor 
with  the  ocean.     He  died  in  1872. 

Captain  David  Wilson  was  another  foreigner  who  became  an 
adopted  son  of  Cohasset  and  one  of  her  deep  sea  captains.  He 
seems  to  have  accumulated  property  in  his  calling,  for  in  the 
vessels  which  he  commanded  he  generally  was  part  owner.  His 
record  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  is,  1843,  master  and  owner 
with  Josiah  O.  Lawrence  of  the  brig  Casket;  1845,  master  and 
quarter  owner  of  the  brig  Speedwell;  1848,  master  and  third  owner 
of  the  brig  Speedwell;  1849,  master  and  quarter  owner  of  the 
bark  Julia;  1850,  master  and  three-eighths  owner  bark  Julia; 
1852-53,  master  of  the  schooner  Georgianna;  1853-54,  master  and 
three-eighths  owner  of  the  ship  Kepler;  1855,  master  and  three- 
eighths  owner  of  the  ship  Daylight.  He  was  also  one-third  owner 
of  the  schooner  Herculean. 

Septimus  Thorndike  was  another  of  Cohasset's  captains  of 
whom  we  can  obtain  but  a  very  short  record.  In  1834  he  was 
captain  of  the  Two  Sisters,  in  1838  and  1839  of  the  Eunice,  in  1840 
of  the  Beta  Bates,  in  1841  of  the  Susan.  Whether  these  were 
fishing  vessels  or  not  we  have  no  means  of  knowing.  In  May, 
1843,  he  took  command  of  the  new  brig  Speedwell,  owned  by  A.  H. 
Tower  and  Caleb  Lothrop,  and  in  June  of  the  same  year  died  on 
board  of  her. 

Captain  William  Pratt,  son  of  Captain  Peter  and  grandson 
of  Captain  Aaron  Pratt  was  a  well-known  deep  sea  captain,  but 
almost  no  record  can  be  obtained  of  his  voyages.  In  1838  he  paid 
hospital  money  as  captain  of  the  schooner  Ellen,  in  1841  as  captain 
of  the  schooner  Gull,  in  1846  of  the  schooner  Talisman,  of  which 
he  was  part  owner.  In  1836  he  was  registered  at  the  Boston 
Custom  House  as  captain  of  the  brig  Phoebe  Ann.  His  voyages 
carried  him  as  far  away  as  Calcutta,  and  he  is  known  to  have  been 


Cohasset1  s  Deep  Sea  Captains.  553 

wrecked  on  the  west  coast  of  South  America  when  in  the  guano 
trade.  Late  in  life  he  was  skipper  of  the  Cohasset-built  yacht 
Gracie.    He  was  born  in  1807  and  died  in  1894. 

Captain  George  W.  Collier,  the  oldest  son  of  Captain  James 
Collier,  was  born  in  Cohasset  in  1809.  His  father  evidently  did 
not  intend  him  for  a  sailor,  for  he  received  a  better  education  than 
did  most  of  the  boys  of  his  age,  and  when  a  young  man,  took  charge 
of  the  books  in  his  father's  store  on  the  wharf  at  the  head  of  the 
cove. 

He  was  at  one  time  a  member  of  the  school  committee,  and 
represented  Cohasset  for  one  term  as  a  member  of  the  General 
Court.  He  and  his  chum,  Edward  Doane,  were  also  elected  at 
one  of  the  town  meetings  as  field  drivers,  and  soon  gave  evidence 
of  the  fact  that  they  did  not  consider  the  office  an  honorary  one 
by  putting  their  fathers'  cows  in  the  pound. 

In  the  first  volume  of  this  history  he  is  set  down  as  captain  of 
the  Polly  in  1816,  but,  as  at  that  time  he  was  but  seven  years  old, 
the  entry  is  manifestly  an  error.  A  close  investigation  of  the 
register  discloses  the  fact  that  George  Collins  was  the  captain  of 
the  Polly  at  that  time,  a  very  natural  error  and  one  frequently 
made  with  the  name  of  Collier.  In  spite  of  the  intention  of  his 
father  to  make  a  merchant  of  him,  it  was  evident  that  the  love  for 
the  sea  would  not  permit  him  to  remain  on  shore. 

In  1 83 1  lie  took  part  in  a  rescue  of  sailors  shipwrecked  on  our 
coast,  as  is  shown  by  the  following  inscription  on  a  medal  in  the 
possession  of  his  nephew,  George  Collier  Bates,  "The  Humane 
Society  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts  to  George  W. 
Collier  in  testimony  of  their  appreciation  of  his  exertions,  united 
with  seven  others,  whereby  the  lives  of  the  crew  of  the  schooner 
Boston  were  preserved  when  in  imminent  danger  off  Cohasset 
rocks,  April  12th,  183 1." 

Perhaps  the  very  work  he  was  engaged  in,  making  entries  per- 
taining to  the  vessels  owned,  or  partly  owned  by  his  father,  the 
Young  James,  Little  Sarah,  Elizabeth,  General  Marion,  Rubicon, 
Pantheon,  Profit,  and  Hobart,  only  served  to  make  him  restless. 
Possibly  the  call  of  the  sea  was  too  strong  to  be  resisted  as  he 
looked  out  on  the  waters  of  the  harbor  dotted  with  vessels,  or 
thought  of  his  brother  sailing  his  vessel  on  southern  seas.    At  any 


554  History  of  Cohasset. 

rate  he  finally  put  one  side  the  pen  with  which  he  had  adorned 
with  beautiful  penmanship  the  ledgers  in  the  old  store  on  the 
wharf,  and  became  a  sailor. 

We  have  no  record  showing  how,  or  in  what  vessels,  or  on  what 
voyages,  he  obtained  his  preliminary  training,  but  our  first  knowl- 
edge of  him  as  sailor  is  obtained  from  Frank  Pratt's  narrative, 
where  he  appears  as  second  mate  of  the  bark  Hobart,  a  Cohasset 
vessel  with  a  Cohasset  name,  and  manned  from  Captain  down  by 
Cohasset  men.  This  was  in  1842,  in  his  thirty-third  year,  and 
the  voyage  was  New  York  to  Bordeaux,  thence  to  New  Orleans, 
and  back  to  New  York. 

In  the  next  voyage  of  the  Hobart  he  was  promoted  to  the  posi- 
tion of  first  mate.  This  voyage  was  to  Buenos  Ayres  and  return, 
but  the  return  was  four  years  later  than  was  anticipated,  and 
Mr.  Collier  brought  back  as  captain  the  vessel  in  which  he  had 
gone  out  as  first  mate.  On  arriving  at  New  York  the  bark  was 
immediately  loaded  with  provisions  for  the  sufferers  from  the 
famine  in  Ireland,  and  Captain  Collier  still  continued  in  command. 

Captain  Abraham  Hall,  who  has  already  been  referred  to  in 
these  pages,  visited  Baltimore  in  his  packet,  carrying  there  freights 
of  mackerel  caught  by  the  Cohasset  fisherman,  and  returning  with 
the  products  of  the  South.  The  firm  with  which  he  transacted 
business  in  Baltimore  was  that  of  John  Henderson  &  Co.  On 
one  of  his  trips  Captain  Hall  found  that  young  Gustavus  Henderson, 
a  son  of  the  head  of  the  firm,  had  run  away  from  home  and  stowed 
himself  away  in  the  packet,  and  only  appeared  on  deck  when  it 
was  too  late  to  return  to  his  home.  The  upshot  of  the  matter  was 
that  young  Henderson  became  a  member  of  the  Hall  family  and 
stayed  in  Cohasset  for  six  or  seven  years,  becoming  intimate  with 
the  Collier  boys,  who  were  nephews  of  Captain  Hall. 

Nothing  was  more  natural  than  that  George  W.  Collier,  in  search 
of  a  ship,  should  turn  to  the  friend  of  his  young  manhood,  Gustavus 
Henderson,  now  a  member  of  the  firm  of  Henderson  &  Co.,  and 
apply  for  the  command  of  one  of  the  ships  owned  by  that  firm. 
The  Hendersons  always  kept  a  warm  spot  in  their  hearts  for  any  one 
hailing  from  Cohasset,  and  Captain  J.  P.  T.  Percival  in  his  narra- 
tive bears  testimony  to  the  loving  care  which  they  bestowed  on  his 
dying  brother,  whom  he  was  obliged  to  leave  at  Baltimore  on  one 
of  his  voyages. 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  555 

So  it  came  about  that  for  many  years  Captain  George  W.  Collier 
sailed  from  Baltimore  in  the  employ  of  the  Hendersons  as  captain 
of  the  ships  Chasca  and  Jane  Henderson.  February  21,  1859,  the 
ship  John  H.  Jarvis,  740  tons,  is  registered  at  Boston  with  George 
W.  Collier  as  captain  and  one-eighth  owner.  John  Henry  Cook 
was  a  sailor  with  him  on  this  voyage,  which  was  to  New  Orleans, 
Trieste,  Venice,  and  other  European  ports,  and  Mr.  Cook  relates 
that  when  the  vessel  was  outside  of  port  Captain  Collier  had  the 
crew  called  on  deck  and  addressed  them  in  a  few  words  to  this 
effect:  —  "Men,  we  have  started  on  a  voyage  which  I  hope  will 
be  a  good  voyage  for  us  and  a  good  voyage  for  the  owners  of  this 
ship.  My  constant  endeavor  shall  be  to  work  for  the  best  interests 
of  the  owners,  and  if  you  will  do  the  same,  I  shall  be  perfectly 
satisfied."  "And,"  added  Mr.  Cook,  "if  he  had  asked  any  man 
in  that  crew  to  jump  overboard  for  him,  he  would  have  done  it  in 
a  minute." 

Captain  Collier  was  a  man  of  exceedingly  nervous  temperament, 
absent-minded  to  the  degree  that  on  one  occasion,  in  New  Orleans, 
having  availed  himself  of  the  loan  of  a  horse  and  buggy  to  ride 
down  town,  his  business  completed,  he  returned  home  by  car, 
leaving  the  horse  and  buggy  where  he  had  hitched  him. 

Captain  Collier  married  in  England  Miss  Annie  Tongue,  whose 
ability  may  be  judged  from  the  fact  that  during  an  illness  of 
Captain  Collier,  as  related  by  Mr.  Cook,  she  took  charge  and 
navigated  the  vessel.  He  was  extremely  fond  of  a  practical  joke, 
and,  it  is  said,  was  the  life  of  that  group  of  homesick  Cohasset  boys 
cooped  up  in  the  town  of  Montevideo  for  four  years. 

At  the  close  of  the  Civil  War  he  located  in  New  Orleans  in  the 
ship  chandlery  business,  where  he  lived  until  his  death  in  1886. 

Dr.  Ezektel  Pratt,  always  referred  to  in  Cohasset  as  "Old 
Dr.  Pratt,"  furnished  three  sons  and  one  grandson  to  the  list  of 
Cohasset's  master  mariners.  The  only  complete  record  we  have 
of  any  of  them  is  that  written  of  himself  by  Francis  L.  Pratt,  the 
youngest  son,  which  appears  later  in  these  pages. 

His  eldest  son,  Nichols,  was  born  in  1809,  and  died  in  1848  at 
the  age  of  thirty-nine,  too  early  to  have  advanced  far  in  his  pro- 
fession.   In  1850  he  was  in  command  of  the  schooner  Caroline.

Captain  Percival  speaks  of  him  in  1836  as  the  captain  of  the 
schooner  Beta  Bates.  We  know  that  later  he  was  in  command  of 
vessels  making  foreign  voyages,  but  we  can  get  no  record  of  them. 
He  paid  hospital  money  as  captain  in  1834  of  the  schooner  Mor- 
giana,  in  1835  of  the  schooner  Friendship. 

His  son,  also  named  Nichols  Pratt,  was  born  in  Cohasset  in  1840, 
and  died  in  California  in  1907.  At  the  age  of  twenty-two  he 
enlisted  in  the  navy  in  the  Civil  War  as  acting  master's  mate. 
November  2,  1863,  he  was  promoted  to  the  position  of  acting 
ensign,  and  April  25,  1865,  was  made  acting  master.  He  was  on 
blockade  service  for  twenty-three  months,  and  was  in  the  convoy 
and  recovery  of  the  ship  Ohio.  He  received  a  letter  from  the 
department  for  services  at  Fort  Fisher.  After  the  war  he  went 
to  China  and  obtained  a  position  as  captain  of  a  river  steamer 
there,  and  made  China  his  home  until  1907,  when  he  returned  to 
the  United  States,  dying  in  California  the  same  year. 

Another  son  of  Dr.  Pratt  was  Henry,  born  in  181 2.  He  is 
spoken  of  by  his  brother  Frank  as  mate  of  the  Beta  Bates  at  the 
age  of  fifteen,  and  ten  years  later  he  is  spoken  of  as  captain  of 
the  brig  Talisman.  He  is  also  spoken  of  as  second  mate  of  a  brig 
belonging  to  Mr.  Jairus  Pratt.  This  brig,  according  to  Joel 
Willcutt's  diary,  was  launched  at  Cohasset  in  1834.  His  record 
at  the  Boston  Custom  House  is  captain  brig  Talisman  and  part 
owner,  1837;  I844,  captain  brig  Ann  and  Julia.  March  30,  1849, 
he  is  registered  as  master  and  part  owner  of  the  brig  Pianet, 
120  tons,  the  other  owners  being  John  H.  Baker,  Clark  Cutting, 
and  Artemas  Thorndike,  of  Cohasset,  and  George  Stoddard  and 
George  Adams,  of  Hingham. 

The  Pianet  was  built  at  Eastport,  Maine,  in  1848.  This  voyage 
was  to  California  at  the  time  of  the  gold  fever,  and  in  addition  to 
the  owners,  there  were  in  the  crew  from  Cohasset,  Charles  Bourne, 
Richard  Lothrop,  Israel  Vinal,  Lorenzo  Bates,  and  Isaac  Pratt. 
Captain  Pratt  remained  in  California  until  the  later  years  of  his 
life,  when  he  returned  East. 

Francis  L.  Pratt  was  born  in  Cohasset,  September  14,  1818, 
the  youngest  son  of  Dr.  Ezekiel  Pratt,  and  a  descendant  of  the  old 
Captain  Aaron  Pratt.    At  the  age  of  eight  he  began  his  career  as

a  sailor  on  the  schooner  Albicore,  Captain  Willcutt,  master,  Edward 
Doane,  supercargo,  and  Joseph  Briggs,  mate,  for  a  trip  to  Bangor 
for  lumber,  receiving  for  the  trip  four  dollars.  The  next  summer 
he  made  fishing  trips  on  the  schooner  Convert,  Captain,  Ezekiel 
Wallace.  The  next  year  on  the  schooner  Susan,  Captain,  Freeman 
Gannett,  he  served  as  cook  on  a  voyage  to  Washington,  North 
Carolina,  at  a  salary  of  eight  dollars  per  month.  It  was  on  this 
voyage  that  the  brave  deed  referred  to  in  the  beginning  of  this 
chapter  was  performed. 

His  next  maritime  experience  was  on  the  fishing  schooner 
William,  sometimes  called  Black  Bill,  Captain,  John  Pratt.  At 
the  age  of  ten  he  made  his  first  voyage  as  sailor  on  the  schooner 
Beta  Bates,  Captain  Crosby,  with  his  brother  Henry  as  mate. 
The  voyage  was  from  Cohasset  to  Richmond  for  a  cargo  of  flour 
to  be  carried  to  Portland,  Maine. 

The  next  summer  the  fishing  schooner  Myra,  Captain,  Caleb 
Souther,  and  Friendship,  Captain,  Elijah  Pratt,  had  him  as  a 
member  of  their  crews;  and  the  next  year  the  Beta  Bates,  Captain, 
Henry  Martin.  This  schooner,  Beta  Bates,  seems  to  have  been 
the  training  school  for  a  great  many  Cohasset  boys. 

At  the  age  of  eleven,  in  company  with  his  cousin  Warren,  Frank 
Pratt  made  his  first  trip  on  a  square  rigger,  the  ship  Chatham, 
Captain  Wood,  on  that  voyage  taken  so  often  in  those  days,  Boston 
to  Charleston,  thence  to  Liverpool,  and  back  to  Boston.  At  this 
point  in  his  narrative  he  breaks  forth  into  this  exclamation,  — 
uNow  notice,  ye  big  boys  of  seventeen  loafing  about  town,  I  was 
eleven  years  old  when  I  shipped  on  this  vessel  among  all  strangers 
as  a  green  hand." 

That  summer  he  went  fishing,  and  the  next  fall  joined  the 
Chatham  again  for  a  voyage  to  Savannah  and  Liverpool.  The  rest 
of  the  winter  he  spent  at  school,  and  after  another  summer  at  fish- 
ing, he  made  a  third  trip  to  Liverpool  on  the  Chatham,  this  time 
by  way  of  New  Orleans.  On  this  trip  he  was  accompanied  by  a 
Cohasset  boy  friend,  Joshua  Bates,  and  on  the  trip  from  Liverpool 
to  Boston  the  crew  were  stricken  with  smallpox. 

That  winter  he  studied  navigation,  and  at  the  age  of  seventeen 
shipped  on  the  brig  Castile,  Captain  Smith,  as  second  mate  on  a 
voyage  to  Jacksonville,  St.  Domingo,  and  back.     Captain  Warren 


558  History  of  Cohasset. 

Bates  next  obtained  for  him  the  position  of  second  mate  on  the 
brig  Cygnet,  commanded  by  his  brother-in-law,  John  Sayward,  on 
a  voyage  to  Wilmington,  North  Carolina,  thence  to  South  America, 
with  lumber,  and  home  with  a  cargo  of  molasses. 

At  the  age  of  eighteen  he  signed  as  first  mate  on  the  fine  new  brig 
Ceyton  of  Duxbury,  Captain,  Charles  Soule,  for  a  voyage  from 
Boston  to  St.  Thomas  and  return.  At  nineteen  he  was  first  mate 
of  the  brig  Russian,  sailing  from  New  York  to  Havana.  In  the 
cargo  was  a  donkey  engine,  the  first  one  ever  set  up  in  Cuba. 

Mr.  Pratt  was  a  teetotaler,  and  relates  how  he  substituted  hot 
coffee  for  grog  as  a  stimulant  to  the  sailors  when  working  the 
vessel  in  a  gale.  After  discharging  her  cargo  at  Havana  the 
Russian  proceeded  to  Matanzas,  where  she  took  on  a  load  of  sugar 
for  Antwerp,  upon  discharging  which  a  cargo  of  salt  was  taken  on 
at  Cadiz  for  Boston. 

Arriving  at  Boston  he  shipped  as  second  mate  at  Cohasset  for  a 
fishing  trip  on  the  topsail  schooner  Tower,  of  which  Nichols  Tower 
was  Captain,  and  John  Barker,  sailing  master.  Among  the  crew 
were  Frederick  Tower,  Elijah  Barker,  and  young  Sam  Snow.  It 
was  not  a  successful  trip,  and  the  crew  arrived  home  just  before 
Thanksgiving,  each  man  in  debt  to  the  vessel  $27. 

He  then  resolved  to  try  his  fortunes  in  the  new  republic  of  Texas, 
and  took  passage  on  a  new  ship,  commanded  by  Captain  Winsor, 
of  Duxbury,  for  New  Orleans.  The  trip  from  New  Orleans  to 
Texas  was  made  in  the  schooner  Hannah.  Texas  did  not  prove 
to  be  any  better  place  for  making  a  fortune  than  old  Massachusetts, 
and  Mr.  Pratt  returned  home,  being  fortunate  enough  to  secure 
the  position  of  second  mate  on  the  brig  Grand  Turk,  loaded  with 
tobacco  for  Boston. 

On  his  return  to  Cohasset  he  bought  in  Gloucester  for  $1,000,  in 
partnership  with  Mr.  Alfred  Whittington,  the  schooner  Essex,  in 
which  he  made  successful  fishing  trips  during  the  summer.  The 
next  winter,  in  the  brig  Talisman,  commanded  by  his  brother 
Henry,  he  made  a  trip  as  first  mate  from  Boston  to  St.  Joseph, 
Florida,  thence  to  Mobile,  for  a  cargo  of  cotton.  In  the  summer 
he  went  fishing  in  the  Essex.  The  following  winter  he  took  com- 
mand of  the  schooner  Beta  Bates,  on  which  he  had  first  sailed  as  a 
boy  of  ten,  for  a  freighting  trip  between  ports  in  the  Southern  States. 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  559 

The  next  two  summers  he  spent  fishing  in  the  schooner  Essex, 
sandwiching  a  winter  of  putting  down  buoys  for  the  lighthouse 
board  on  the  schooner  Eagle,  under  the  command  of  Captain 
Nichols  Tower.  In  the  fall  of  1841  he  worked  on  the  bark  Lewis, 
building  at  Cohasset,  but  gave  up  this  employment  to  join  the 
bark  Hobart,  Captain,  James  Collier,  as  first  mate,  on  a  trip  to 
Charleston,  thence  to  Bordeaux  with  rice,  from  there  to  New 
Orleans  with  prunes  and  wine,  where  a  cargo  of  corn  was  taken  on 
for  New  York.  On  the  trip  from  Charleston  to  Bordeaux  the 
Hobart  started  in  company  with  two  brigs  from  Newport,  Rhode 
Island,  and  beat  them  into  Bordeaux  by  a  full  week.  The  Hobart 
was  evidently  a  good  sailer,  for  on  one  trip  from  Mobile  to  New 
York,  Captain  Collier  walked  into  the  consignee's  office  just  as  the 
postman  handed  in  his  letter.  Our  young  readers  must  remember 
that  in  1840  it  took  about  a  week  to  carry  a  letter  from  Mobile  to 
New  York. 

While  the  Hobart  was  lying  at  New  Orleans  the  boiler  of  a 
steamer  on  the  opposite  bank  exploded,  setting  fire  to  the  steamer, 
which  burned  to  the  water's  edge.  This,  occurring  in  the  night, 
furnished  a  grand  but  awful  spectacle  to  the  crew  of  the  Hobart, 
roused  from  their  slumbers  by  the  din  of  the  explosion.  No  time, 
however,  was  wasted  in  watching,  for  boats  were  immediately 
launched  from  the  bark  and  the  crew  did  manful  service  in  rescuing 
from  the  river  the  members  of  the  steamer's  crew.  On  the  com- 
pletion of  this  voyage  Captain  Pratt  spent  the  summer  as  captain 
of  the  fishing  schooner  Ansurla,  belonging  to  Esquire  Doane,  and 
of  a  schooner  belonging  to  Lewis  Willcutt. 

In  the  fall  he  shipped  as  first  mate  on  the  brig  Eolus,  belonging 
to  Esquire  Doane,  and  spent  the  winter  trading  between  Charleston 
and  Cuba.  After  another  summer  spent  in  mackerel  fishing  he 
decided  to  give  up  the  sea,  and  spent  the  rest  of  his  life  on  shore. 
Captain  Pratt  figured  that  he  had  sailed  about  78,000  miles  during 
his  career  as  a  sailor. 

Two  brothers  who  were  noted  sea  captains  in  their  day,  and 
upheld  the  reputation  of  Cohasset  skippers  in  foreign  ports  were 
Adna  N.  and  John  Warren  Bates.  They  were  born  on  Fort 
Hill,  in  Boston,  although  of  the  old  Cohasset  family  of  Bates,, 
Adna  in  1812,  Warren  in  1815. 


560  History  of  Cohasset. 

Adna,  after  completing  his  education  in  the  Boston  schools,  was 
employed  for  some  time  in  the  stationers  store  of  Mr.  Allen  on 
Cornhill.  At  what  time  he  began  his  sea  life  is  not  known,  but 
probably  very  early.  He  was  connected  by  marriage  with  the 
Saywards  of  Gloucester,  and  probably  sailed  from  that  port  in  the 
days  when  it  was  something  more  than  the  home  of  the  fishing 
industry.  For  that  reason  his  name  is  not  to  be  found  in  the 
registers  of  the  Boston  Custom  House  until  1848,  when  he  is  set 
down  as  captain  of  the  Julia  and  Helen,  a  ship  of  637  tons  owned 
by  Samuel  Sayward,  of  Gloucester. 

In  this  vessel  he  made  a  voyage  to  San  Francisco,  reaching  there 
when  the  gold  fever  was  at  its  height.  On  his  arrival  he  sold  the 
vessel  and  cargo  and  remained  in  San  Francisco  and  Sacramento 
until  1856.  On  his  return  home  he  took  up  again  the  occupation 
of  a  sea  captain,  sailing  from  Gloucester  in  the  Surinam  trade. 
In  the  early  sixties  he  made  voyages  to  Rochelle,  Hamburg,  and 
other  ports  in  Europe,  but  in  1864  retired  from  the  sea.  He  was 
a  skillful  navigator  and  noted  for  his  proficiency  in  mathematics. 
For  a  number  of  years  he  served  the  town  as  Selectman,  Assessor, 
and  Overseer  of  the  Poor.    He  died  in  Cohasset,  February  24,  1881. 

John  Warren  Bates,  as  did  his  brother,  entered  the  seafaring 
vocation  as  a  boy.  He,  too,  sailed  from  Gloucester,  commanding 
two  brigs  from  there,  probably  owned  by  the  Saywards.  He  was 
engaged  in  the  West  Indian  trade  for  many  years.  We  find  him 
registered  from  Boston  as  captain  in  1849  of  the  Ganges,  a  244-ton 
brig  owned  by  William  F.  Mason.  In  1849  ne  to°k  command  of 
the  new  brig  Czarina,  owned  by  the  firm  of  F.  Nickerson  &  Co., 
and  in  1856  we  find  him  in  command  of  the  ship  Flying  Eagle, 
owned  by  the  same  firm. 

The  Flying  Eagle  was  a  ship  of  1094  tons  burden,  and  said 
to  be  the  fastest  sailing  vessel  afloat  at  that  time.  In  her  he  made 
voyages  to  San  Francisco  and  around  the  world.  Another  vessel 
commanded  by  him  was  the  Prometheus. 

October  10,  1861,  he  is  registered  as  captain  and  one-eighth 
owner,  with  the  Nickersons,  of  the  199-ton  bark  Carib,  and  Octo- 
ber 17,  1862,  as  captain  of  the  1297-ton  ship  Orion,  In  this 
last  vessel  he  probably  was  employed    by  the    United  States

Government  in  the  transportation  of  troops.  Probably  his  last 
command  was  the  1546-ton  clipper  ship  Criterion,  engaged  in  the 
California  trade,  under  the  management  of  Glidden  &  Williams. 
On  retiring  from  the  sea  he  acted  as  the  West  Indies  agent  of 
a  prominent  Boston  business  house  for  many  years.  Captain 
Bates  was  for  a  number  of  years  a  member  of  the  Cohasset 
School  Committee.  He  was  also  a  member  of  the  Board  of 
Trustees  of  the  Public  Library,  and  its  first  Librarian.  Captain 
Bates  was  a  great  lover  of  poetry,  particularly  of  Byron,  whose 
poems  he  could  recite  from  memory.     He  died  in  Cohasset  in  1895. 

Captain  Thomas  Doyle  was  born  in  Ireland,  and  came 
to  Cohasset  through  the  instrumentality  of  the  elder  Captain 
Ephraim  Snow.  He  rose  to  be  a  master  mariner,  and  was  com- 
mander of  the  schooners  Antelope  and  Abigail,  the  brigs  Eliza 
Burgess  and  Almatia,  and  the  bark  Maryland. 

Captain  James  Collier  (until  1850  known  as  Captain  James 
Collier,  Jr.)  probably  commanded  more  ships  and  sailed  more 
long  voyages  than  any  seafaring  man  who  ever  went  out  from 
Cohasset.  And  possibly  his  record  in  this  respect  has  been  sel- 
dom equaled  by  any  captain,  for  in  the  latter  years  of  his  life, 
when  in  London,  a  captain  there  made  the  wager  that  his  own 
record  for  number  of  vessels  commanded  and  voyages  made  could 
not  be  equaled  by  the  captain  of  any  merchantman  then  in  that 
port,  the  largest  in  the  world.  The  wager  was  quickly  taken  by  a 
captain  who  named  Captain  Collier  as  one  who  could  overtop  the 
record  so  confidently  offered  for  competition.  The  result  showed 
Captain  Collier  an  easy  winner. 

In  the  size  of  the  ships  he  commanded  he  also  led  his  friends 
among  the  Cohasset  sea  captains,  for  beginning  with  the  Storm 
King  the  vessels  of  which  he  was  master  were  all  1300  tons  or 
over,  while  the  only  other  ships  which  we  have  recorded  in  this 
chapter,  coming  anywhere  near  that  tonnage,  are  the  Orion,  1298 
tons,  and  the  Criterion,  1546  tons,  commanded  by  Captain  John  W. 
Bates. 

Captain  James  Collier  was  born  in  Cohasset,  in  August,  1813, 
on  Cove  Street,  now  known  as  Elm  Street,  in  a  little  house  built 


562  History  of  Cohasset. 

by  his  great-grandfather,  Thomas  Lincoln,  which  stood  where 
the  Osgood  School  driveway  enters  the  lot.  At  the  age  of  nine 
years  he  presented  to  his  parents  the  ultimatum  so  common  in 
those  days,  "Let  me  go  fishing,  or  I'll  run  away,"  which  was 
settled  in  the  usual  way  by  the  boy  taking  service  as  a  fisherman 
on  one  of  his  father's  vessels,  possible  the  Young  James,  named 
for  him. 

Alex  Litchfield  was  a  boy  of  about  the  same  age  on  the  same 
schooner,  and  John  Cook,  an  older  boy,  who  was  a  member  of 
the  crew,  indulged  his  propensity  for  joking,  which  is  well  remem- 
bered by  those  who  knew  Captain  Cook,  by  fomenting  strife 
between  these  two  boys,  getting  them  ashore  on  the  first  island 
touched  at,  where  a  duel  with  fists  was  fought  out,  with  Captain 
Cook  as  referee. 

At  the  age  of  18,  at  the  suggestion  of  Captain  Abraham  H. 
Tower,  he  was  made  captain  of  the  schooner  Profit,  leaving 
Boston  for  Norfolk  City  and  Richmond  with  a  general  cargo. 
The  return  cargo  was  coal,  consigned  to  Oliver  Ames,  North 
Easton,  Mass.,  which  was  landed  at  Weymouth  and  carted  across 
country  to  North  Easton.  What  a  striking  commentary  on  the 
difference  in  the  methods  of  transportation  now  and  seventy- 
five  years  ago! 

In  1834  in  the  Profit  he  made  a  voyage  to  Savannah,  returning 
to  Cohasset  by  way  of  Providence,  and  in  the  same  year  we  find 
him  commanding  the  schooner  Rubicon  at  New  Orleans.  In  the 
following  year  in  the  same  vessel  he  made  trading  voyages  from 
New  Orleans  to  Kingston,  Jamaica,  Santiago  de  Cuba,  Gal- 
veston, and  Yucatan. 

In  1838  we  find  him  at  St.  Marks.  In  1840  he  is  made  cap- 
tain of  the  bark  Hobart,  a  Cohasset  vessel,  and  that  year  and  the 
next  made  trips  in  her  to  Mobile,  Providence,  New  York,  Tripoli, 
and  Leghorn.  The  round  trip  from  New  York  to  Charleston, 
Bordeaux,  New  Orleans,  and  back  to  New  York  was  made  in 
1842. 

In  October  of  that  year  Captain  Collier  became  engaged  to 
Miss  Joanna  Nichols  Bates,  of  Cohasset,  and  soon  after  left  for 
Buenos  Ayres  by  way  of  Rio  Janeiro  in  the  Hobart,  expecting  to 
be  married  on  his  return  home  from  the  voyage.     But  on  the 


Cohasset' s  Deep  Sea  Captains.  563 

21st  of  May,  1843,  the  Hobart  was  stranded  on  the  bar  of  the 
River  Pantanoso,  in  the  bay  of  Montevideo.  A  lawsuit  arose 
on  account  of  the  general  average,  which  dragged  on  after  the 
Spanish  fashion,  and  Captain  Collier  was  detained  in  Monte- 
video until  1845,  when  he  left  the  bark  and  came  home,  arriving 
in  Cohasset  in  May,  and  was  married  July  6th.  When  the 
Hobart  returned  to  New  York,  two  years  later,  she  was  under 
the  command  of  Captain  George  W.  Collier,  who  had  gone  out 
in  her  as  first  mate,  with  Jacob  F.  Bates,  Captain  Collier's 
brother-in-law,  as  mate. 

The  Hobart  was  a  vessel  to  which  the  writer  of  this  chapter  was 
wont  to  refer  as  an  example  of  the  old-time  shipping  days  in 
Cohasset,  —  a  Cohasset  vessel,  with  a  Cohasset  name,  built, 
owned,  captained,  officered  and  manned  by  Cohasset  men.  But 
when  he  searched  for  her  record  at  the  Bostom  Custom  House  he 
found  it  was  not  there.  No  enrollment,  no  register.  Nobody 
living  in  Cohasset  had  any  recollection  of  a  vessel  built  seventy 
years  ago.  Finally  recourse  was  had  to  the  New  York  Custom 
House,  and  there  it  was  found  that  the  Hobart  was  registered  in 
September,  1840,  with  the  following  record:  "  Owners,  Abraham 
H.  Tower,  James  Collier,  Peter  Lothrop,  Daniel  T.  Lothrop  and 
Caleb  Lothrop;  Captain,  James  Collier,  Jr.;  length,  96  feet,  tonnage 
204  tons."  Reference  was  made  to  enrollment  number  10  of 
June  12,  1840,  issued  at  the  port  of  Boston,  but  this  enrollment 
is  not  on  file  there,  and  the  certificate  of  the  master  builder  was 
burned  with  numerous  other  records  in  the  fire  in  the  appraisers' 
stores,  but,  without  doubt,  her  builder  was  Jonathan  B.  Bates. 

In  1846  Captain  Collier  commanded  the  bark  Julia  on  a  voyage 
from  Boston  to  Maracaibo. 

The  brig  Monserrat  was  his  next  command,  and  in  her  he 
made  one  of  the  quickest  trips  on  record  to  Queenstown,  Ireland, 
fifteen  days.  The  purpose  of  this  voyage  was  the  carrying  of 
provisions  to  the  famine-stricken  sufferers  of  Ireland.  On  his 
arrival  home  in  June  he  took  on  a  cargo  for  Malaga,  at  which  port 
he  arrived  in  August. 

In  1848  he  left  New  York  for  Porto  Rico,  accompanied  by  his 
wife  and  infant  daughter,  with  his  brother-in-law,  Jacob  F. 
Bates,  as  first  mate.     San  Francisco  was  then  the  goal  for  vessels,

and  January,  1849,  found  the  Monserrat  leaving  New  York  for 
that  port,  carrying  passengers,  as  well  as  cargo,  to  the  new 
land  of  gold.  The  voyage  home  terminated  at  New  York  in 
March,  1850. 

A  year  later  we  find  him  ending  the  same  voyage  at  the  port  of 
New  York,  but  in  a  new  vessel,  the  bark  E.  H.  Chapin. 

In  1 85 1  he  again  makes  a  voyage  to  San  Francisco,  but  in 
another  vessel,  and  by  a  more  circuitous  route.  His  vessel  is 
now  the  bark  Salem,  and  his  route  from  Cincinnati,  which  he 
leaves  in  May,  down  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  to  New  Orleans, 
where  he  arrived  in  June,  thence  to  Rio  Janeiro,  leaving  there  in 
September,  and  arriving  at  San  Francisco  in  December.  His 
voyage  home  began  March  16th,  and  ended  at  New  York,  in 
July,  1852. 

Captain  Collier  was  in  his  fortieth  year  when  in  March,  1853, 
he  sailed  from  Boston  as  commander  of  the  new  clipper  ship 
Storm  King,  for  his  fourth  consecutive  voyage  around  the  Horn 
for  San  Francisco.  The  Storm  King  was  making  her  maiden 
voyage,  was  184  feet  in  length,  and  1288  tons  measurement. 
She  was  all  that  a  ship  could  be  made  at  that  time,  and  her  cargo 
represented  a  fortune.  Captain  Collier  was  informed  by  his 
owners,  Messrs.  Isaac  Rich  &  Co.,  in  their  letter  of  instructions 
to  him,  of  the  great  confidence  they  had  in  him  in  intrusting  to 
so  young  a  captain  so  valuable  a  ship  and  cargo.  That  their 
confidence  was  not  misplaced  was  proved  by  the  safe  arrival  of 
the  Storm  King  home  in  April,  1854,  after  a  successful  voyage 
to  San  Francisco,  touching  at  Callao  on  the  return  voyage. 

If  the  Storm  King  carried  with  her  the  hopes  and  fears  of  her 
owners  in  Boston,  no  less  was  the  feeling  of  anxiety  for  her  safe 
return  in  the  little  seaport  of  Cohasset,  whose  inhabitants  from 
the  rocky  shore  and  from  boats,  which  had  put  out  beyond  the 
Minots,  watched  her  till  she  was  a  speck  on  the  horizon.  For 
Captain  Collier  was  not  the  only  Cohasset  man  on  board.  His 
third  officer  was  his  brother,  Christopher,  and  with  him  were 
three  Cohasset  boys  making  their  first  voyage,  John  Hall,  Ezekiel 
Marshall,  and  his  nephew,  Samuel  P.  Bates,  all  three  destined  to 
become  sea  captains  themselves. 

In  1855  the  ship  Mattapan  came  under  Captain  Collier's  com-

mand,  and  in  her  a  voyage  was  made    to    New  Orleans    and 
probably  to  other  ports,  for  in  1856  we  hear  of  him  at  Charleston. 

The  1388-ton  ship  North  America,  sl  beautiful  specimen  of 
naval  architecture,  both  as  regards  construction  and  fittings, 
became  Captain  Collier's  home  from  1857  to  1865.  October  6th 
of  the  former  year  he  is  reported  at  London,  January  6,  1858,  at 
Melbourne,  Australia,  April  at  Callao,  and  September  back 
again  in  London,  which  port  he  left  for  Bombay  and  Calcutta, 
carrying  British  troops,  among  them  Captain.  Havelock,  who 
was  to  win  fame  and  the  title  of  General  by  his  brilliant  services 
to  the  Crown  in  India. 

The  year  i860  finds  the  North  America  at  home,  after  a  three 
years'  voyage  in  foreign  seas.  In  the  cargo  which  she  brought  to 
Savannah  was  the  first  shipment  to  America  of  gunny  sacks. 

The  War  of  the  Rebellion  was  now  near  at  hand,  and  Captain 
Collier,  as  soon  as  the  Star  of  the  East  was  fired  on  in  her 
attempt  to  succor  Fort  Sumter,  offered  his  services  to  the  gov- 
ernment in  any  capacity  in  which  his  experience  could  be  made 
useful.  He  was  refused  on  the  ground  of  age,  he  being  at  that 
time  in  his  forty-eighth  year. 

May,  1 86 1,  the  North  America  left  New  York  for  St.  Johns, 
N.  F.,  thence  to  Liverpool,  from  which  port  she  sailed  for  home 
in  November.  On  this  voyage  Captain  Collier  took  with  him 
four  young  men  from  Cohasset  as  sailors  before  the  mast:  George 
H.  Smith,  Daniel  N.  Tower,  Walter  Tower,  and  Nichols  Tower. 
Before  the  completion  of  the  voyage  George  Smith  was  promoted 
to  the  position  of  third  mate. 

In  February,  1862,  the  North  America  took  on  at  Boston  the 
Fourteenth  Maine  Regiment  and  proceeded  to  Ship  Island,  at 
the  mouth  of  the  Mississippi  River.  There  she  took  on  the 
Thirtieth  Massachusetts  Regiment,  Reed's  Mounted  Riflemen 
and  the  Fourth  Massachusetts  Battery,  and  started  up  the  river, 
anchoring  just  below  forts  Jackson  and  Philip.  After  the  forts 
were  taken  by  the  naval  vessels,  the  North  America  followed 
General  Butler's  flagship  to  New  Orleans,  and  was  the  second 
vessel  to  land  troops. 

The  North  America  returned  to  Boston  with  a  cargo  of  old 
bells  and  other  metal  which  had  been  sent  to  New  Orleans  from 


566  History  of  Cohasset. 

the  outlying  plantations,  subject  to  Beauregard's  order,  to  be 
melted  into  cannon  for  the  use  of  the  Confederacy. 

From  1862  to  1865  Captain  Collier  made  trips  in  the  North 
America,  the  ports  touched  at  being  New  York,  London,  Antwerp, 
Melbourne,  Callao,  and  the  Chinchas.  In  1864  he  had  his  eye 
operated  on  at  Antwerp  for  cataract,  a  disease  common  to  sea- 
faring men. 

In  1865  the  privateer  Shenandoah  continued  preying  on  the 
commerce  of  the  United  States,  even  after  the  Confederacy  had 
surrendered,  and  peace  had  been  declared.  The  North  America 
was  one  of  the  vessels  marked  for  capture  and  destruction  by  the 
captain  of  this  rebel  cruiser,  but  Captain  Collier's  vigilance  was 
equal  to  that  of  his  pursuer,  and  the  old  "North"  successfully 
passed  the  Shenandoah  in  the  night  in  the  Australasian  seas. 

Either  before  or  after  this  event  the  Shenandoah  was  lying  in 
Melbourne  harbor,  where  also  were  lying  a  number  of  United 
States  merchantmen.  It  was  decided  by  the  captains  of  these 
vessels  to  lay  a  torpedo  in  the  path  of  the  outgoing  Shenandoah, 
and  the  torpedo  was  actually  made  and  stored  on  board  of  the 
North  America.  But  in  some  way  the  captain  of  the  Shenan- 
doah got  wind  of  the  scheme  and  left  the  harbor  before  the  plan 
could  be  put  in  execution. 

This  was  the  last  voyage  of  the  North  America  under  the  flag 
of  the  United  States.  She  was  sold  in  South  America,  and  Cap- 
tain Collier  returned  home  by  steamer,  remaining  on  land  from 
August,  1865,  to  September,  1866. 

In  that  month  he  took  command  of  the  new  1310-ton  ship 
Tecumseh,  of  which  his  nephew,  Samuel  P.  Bates,  of  Cohasset, 
was  first  mate.  He  left  Boston,  September  7th,  for  Valparaiso, 
carrying  a  cargo  of  cannon  and  cannon  balls  for  the  Chilian 
government,  to  be  used  in  its  war  against  Peru.  The  Tecumseh 
arrived  at  Valparaiso,  December  10th,  and  left  for  Liverpool, 
February  10th,  arriving  there  May  29th,  and  at  Boston  in  July. 

Captain  Collier  stayed  another  year  on  shore,  and  in  Sep- 
tember, 1868,  took  command  of  the  new  1328-ton  ship  Pharos, 
which  was  to  be  his  sea  home  for  the  next  six  years,  and  in  which 
he  made  the  following  voyages:  Left  Boston,  September  20, 
1868,  arrived  at  San  Francisco,  January  25,   1869;  left  there, 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  567 

February  24th,  arrived  at  Liverpool,  June  29th;  left  there  July 
28th,  and  arrived  at  Boston,  September  6th.  Left  Boston,  Octo- 
ber, 1869,  arrived  at  San  Francisco,  March  27th,  1870;  left  there 
April  20th,  arrived  at  Liverpool,  September  5th;  left  there  for 
Boston,  October  25th,  at  which  place  he  arrived,  December  13th. 

Captain  Collier's  next  voyage  in  the  Pharos  kept  him  away 
from  home  three  years.  He  left  Boston  for  New  Orleans  in 
January,  1871,  arriving  there  February  17th.  Left  New  Orleans, 
March  22d,  for  Liverpool,  and  arrived  there  in  May.  June  17th 
he  left  Liverpool  for  San  Francisco,  where  he  arrived  December 
9th.  Left  San  Francisco,  January,  1872,  for  Calcutta,  where  he 
arrived  April  9th,  having  touched  at  Singapore,  March  20th. 
Sailed  from  Calcutta  in  June,  touched  at  St.  Helena,  September 
14th,  for  water,  and  arrived  at  London,  November  4th.  January 
28,  1873,  teft  London  for  Melbourne,  arriving  there  May  18th. 
He  left  Sidney,  August  9th,  for  San  Francisco,  arriving  there 
October  21st.  Here  he  left  the  ship  and  came  home  by  rail, 
while  the  Pharos  kept  on  her  way  to  Liverpool,  where  she  ended 
her  voyage. 

Captain  Collier  left  Boston  by  steamer  in  March,  1874,  to 
rejoin  his  ship,  but  a  favorable  opportunity  offering,  he  sold  the 
ship  and  returned  to  Boston  by  way  of  Philadelphia. 

From  May  to  December,  1874,  Captain  Collier  was  at  home, 
part  of  the  time  being  employed  in  overseeing  the  construction 
of  the  new  1314-ton  ship  Highland  Light,  which  was  building  at 
Bath,  Me.  This  vessel  he  commanded  for  four  years  and  a 
half.  His  first  voyage  in  her  was  over  the  old  route  so  often 
sailed  by  him,  New  York  to  San  Francisco,  making  the  trip  in 
127  days,  arriving  there  April  30,  1875.  ^n  October  he  sailed  for 
Liverpool,  arriving  there  March  27th,  and  took  on  cargo  for 
Philadelphia,  where  he  arrived  May  15th.  June  30th  the  prow 
of  the  Highland  Light  was  turned  for  the  second  time  toward 
San  Francisco,  arriving  there  December  2d. 

After  unloading  she  proceeded  up  the  river  for  a  cargo  of  grain. 
Coming  down  the  river  she  struck  on  Blossom  Rock,  but  kept  on 
her  way  to  San  Francisco,  where  divers  made  an  examination  of 
her  bottom,  and  reported  that  no  damage  had  resulted  from  the 
accident.     The  ship  made  very  slow  headway  on  the  voyage  to 


568  History  of  Cohasset. 

Liverpool,  where  she  arrived  July  6th,  making  the  voyage  in  150 
days.  As  soon  as  the  cargo  was  discharged  the  ship  was  put  into 
dry  dock,  and  a  piece  of  Blossom  Rock  was  discovered  sticking 
to  the  keel. 

The  Highland  Light  left  Liverpool,  September  10th,  for  Callao, 
arriving  there  December  15th.  Left  May  1,  1878,  for  Mauri- 
tius, where  she  arrived  July  16th.  On  the  15th  day  of  October 
she  left  Mauritius,  and  arrived  at  Calcutta,  November  2d.  Feb- 
ruary 16,  1879,  Captain  Collier  turned  the  Highland  Light  home- 
ward, and  arrived  in  Boston,  June  29th,  completing  a  voyage  of 
exactly  three  years. 

Since  leaving  the  Storm  King,  Captain  Collier  had  been  in  the 
employ  of  Thomas  Nickerson  &  Co.,  of  Boston,  and  his  term  of 
service  with  this  firm  ended  only  with  his  retirement  from  the  sea 
in  1886,  a  period  of  thirty  years,  almost  as  remarkable  a  record  as 
that  of  the  number  of  his  voyages.  Naturally  between  employer 
and  employed  had  grown  up  a  feeling  of  mutual  respect,  confidence, 
and  good  will.  Captain  Collier  had  been  for  some  time  the  captain 
oldest  in  service  in  the  employ  of  the  firm,  and  it  was  natural  that 
his  employers  should  turn  to  him  now  and  ask  him  to  undertake 
a  new  task.  This  was  to  leave  the  Highland  Light,  of  which  he 
was  part  owner,  and  take  command  of  another  ship. 

When  the  old  Pharos  was  sold,  Nickerson  &  Co.  started  on 
the  construction  of  a  new  Pharos,  the  largest  and  finest  ship  they 
had  owned.  She  was  2200  tons  burden,  up  to  date  in  every 
respect,  but  had  been  unlucky  since  her  launching,  and  the  task 
given  Captain  Collier  was  to  remove  the  "hoodoo"  and  make  her 
as  successful  as  she  deserved  to  be  from  the  money  and  skill  put 
into  her  construction.    This  task  was  successfully  accomplished. 

November  29,  1879,  the  new  ship  Pharos  left  New  York  for 
London  and  arrived  there  December  29th.  January  23d  left 
London  for  Cardiff  for  a  cargo  for  Coquimbo,  Chile.  Left  Cardiff 
February  25th,  and  arrived  at  Coquimbo  June  14th,  which  port  he 
left  August  18th  for  San  Francisco,  arriving  there  October  9th. 
At  this  port  he  was  joined  by  his  eldest  daughter,  who  made  the 
rest  of  the  voyage  with  him.  The  voyage  was  to  Liverpool, 
Calcutta,  and  New  York,  and  proved  to  be  one  of  the  stormiest 
voyages  in  the  career  of  Captain  Collier. 


Cohas set's  Deep  Sea  Captains.  569 

The  Pharos  left  San  Francisco  November  6th  for  Liverpool, 
where  it  arrived  March  22,  1881,  and  left  June  16th  for  Calcutta, 
arriving  there  October  10th.  Left  Calcutta  January  10,  1882, 
and  arrived  at  New  York  May  2d.  July  25th  the  Pharos  left 
New  York  for  the  port  from  which  she  had  just  returned,  arriving 
there  December  2  2d.  After  lying  in  Calcutta  102  days  the  Pharos 
turned  toward  home  again,  arriving  in  New  York  September  14, 
1883.  November  25th  of  the  same  year  the  prow  of  the  Pharos 
was  once  more  turned  toward  India,  Bombay  this  time  being  her 
destination.  At  this  port  she  arrived  in  April,  1884,  and  left  for 
Cochin  June  8th,  where  she  took  on  a  cargo  for  New  York,  arriving 
November  17th. 

February  5,  1885,  Captain  Collier  started  on  what  was  to  be  his 
last  voyage.  He  left  New  York  in  the  Pharos,  bound  to  Bombay, 
where  he  arrived  June  17th.  After  discharging  cargo  left  for 
Calcutta  August  25th,  and  arrived  September  21st.  While  loading 
for  New  York  he  contracted  the  fever,  from  the  effects  of  which 
he  never  fully  recovered.  He  left  for  New  York,  November  10th, 
and  arrived  there  April  2,  1886.  He  was  then  in  the  seventy-third 
year  of  his  age,  and  for  five  years  remained  at  home,  gradually 
succumbing  to  the  inroads  of  old  age,  until,  January  14,  1891,  at 
the  age  of  seventy-eight,  he  furled  his  sails  and  dropped  anchor  in 
that  harbor  whence  no  ship  has  ever  sailed  back. 

Although  Captain  Collier  made  several  quick  passages,  he  was 
never  a  driver,  his  idea  being  to  bring  his  ship  into  port  in  as  good 
condition  as  when  she  left.  His  long  experience  had  taught  him 
the  folly  of  carrying  sail  when  nothing  was  to  be  gained  by  it  and 
possibly  everything  might  be  lost.  He  had  become  skilled  in 
detecting  the  approach  and  escaping  from  monsoons  and  typhoons, 
and  in  one  of  his  last  voyages  to  New  York  from  Calcutta,  from 
which  port  he  sailed  in  company  with  two  other  ships,  he  escaped, 
by  calculating  its  course,  a  monsoon  which  destroyed  his  companion 
ships. 

Besides  the  ports  touched  at  in  the  United  States  in  his  early 
coasting  trips,  a  partial  record  of  ports  he  visited  is  as  follows: 
Coquimbo,  Maracaibo,  Queenstown,  Malaga,  Antwerp,  Chincha, 
Valparaiso,  Porto  Rico,  Singapore,  Cardiff,  Kingston,  Santiago, 
Yucatan,  Bordeaux,  Buenos  Ayres,  Monte  Video,  Mauritius,  once

each;  Rio  Janeiro,  twice;  Melbourne  and  Bombay,  three  times; 
Callao,  four  times;  London  and  Calcutta,  six  times;  New  Orleans, 
seven;  Liverpool,  eight,  and  San  Francisco,  ten  times. 

Captain  James  Hall,  a  son  of  Captain  George  Hall,  was  bom 
in  1817  at  the  old  Collier  house  on  North  Scituate  Beach.  The 
first  sound  probably  that  came  to  his  ears  was  the  sound  of  waves, 
and  it  certainly  was  the  last.  Presumably  he  served  the  usual 
apprenticeship  of  Cohasset  boys  on  board  fishing  crafts,  and  in 
1839  was  captain  of  the  schooner  Industry,  which  his  father  had 
commanded  before  him,  but  the  first  record  we  have  of  him  is 
on  the  voyage  to  Bordeaux  on  the  bark  Hobart,  under  the  captaincy 
of  his  cousin,  James  Collier.  Mr.  Hall  stayed  with  the  Hobart 
until  after  his  return  from  Ireland,  and  probably  soon  afterward 
became  captain  of  his  own  vessel.  He  was  captain  in  1850  of  the 
Stranger  and  in  1853  of  the  Albion.  The  greater  part  of  his  life 
he  sailed  between  New  York  and  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope  in  the 
wool  trade. 

He  was  at  one  time  master  of  the  bark  James  A.  Lee,  and  is 
registered  at  the  Boston  Custom  House  in  1859  as  captain  of  the 
594-ton  bark  William  G.  Anderson. 

In  a  terrific  storm  off  Cape  Horn  in  the  year  1870,  he  was  killed 
by  a  wave  which  came  aboard  his  ship  Orion,  and  was  buried  at  sea. 

He  succeeded  his  father  as  member  of  the  Order  of  the  Cincinnati. 

Isaac  Hall,  a  brother  of  Captain  James  Hall,  was  not  by 
profession  a  sea  captain,  but  a  shipbuilder,  but  he  seems  to  have 
been  equipped  with  the  knowledge  and  skill  necessary  for  that 
position,  for,  as  will  be  seen  later  on,  he  commanded  a  brig  from 
Turks  Island  to  Boston.  He  also  commanded  the  80-ton  schooner 
Francis  M.  Steele  in  a  voyage  from  Boston  to  California,  which 
State  he  made  his  home  for  the  rest  of  his  life. 

Winslow  G.  Hall,  another  brother,  is  also  on  the  record,  master 
of  the  108-ton  schooner  John  D.  Sanborn,  of  San  Francisco, 
November  16,  1864. 

Captain  Christopher  Collier,  youngest  son  of  Captain 
James  Collier,  was  born  in  Cohasset  in  18 19,  and  learned  in  Boston 
the  trade  of  a  mason.     He  returned  home  in  1847  to  be  with  his

father  in  his  last  days,  and  stayed  on  the  farm  in  North  Scituate 
until  after  his  father's  death  in  1850,  when  he  took  command  of  a 
schooner  lightering  stone  to  Minots  Lighthouse,  then  in  process 
of  construction.  He  also  made  voyages  to  the  West  Indies  with 
Captain  Hough  Larry  as  mate.  In  1852  he  was  captain  of  the 
schooner  Profit.  He  sailed  in  the  Storm  King,  as  has  been  related, 
as  mate  in  1854,  on  a  voyage  to  San  Francisco  and  return,  and  in 
1856  was  mate  of  the  bark  Quincy,  Captain,  Joseph  H.  Smith. 

On  his  return  from  this  voyage  he  became  master  of  the  bark 
Avon,  in  which  he  started  on  his  last  trip  in  1862  on  a  voyage  to 
Valparaiso  and  return.  The  voyage  to  Valparaiso  was  made  in 
safety,  but  on  the  return  trip,  loaded  with  ore,  the  old  vessel 
succumbed  to  the  force  of  a  terrible  storm,  and  all  on  board  went 
down  with  her. 

The  Avon  had  just  been  spoken  by  a  captain  who  had  formerly 
commanded  her,  and  who,  a  few  days  after,  with  a  new,  strong 
vessel,  succeeded  with  difficulty  in  weathering  the  gale.  It  was 
his  prediction  on  arriving  in  port  that  the  Avon  was  too  old,  and 
loaded  with  too  dangerous  a  cargo  to  outlive  the  terrible  storm 
which  he  knew  she  had  encountered. 

Captain  Collier  was  a  man  of  very  large  size,  and  was  noted  for 
his  strength.  He  often  remarked  that  at  10.30  on  Sunday  mornings 
when  at  sea  he  could  fancy  that  he  was  being  prayed  for  by  his  old 
pastor,  Mr.  Osgood,  in  the  words  he  habitually  used,  "Be  with 
those  who  go  down  to  the  sea  in  ships  and  do  business  on  the 
great  waters."  He  was  named  for  his  uncle,  Christopher  Lincoln, 
who  was  lost  at  sea  in  1804. 

So  was  added  another  to  the  long  list  of  Cohasset  mariners  who 
had  "gone  down  to  the  sea  in  ships"  but  had  never  returned. 
When  sometime  in  Cohasset  a  marine  park  shall  be  constructed 
overlooking  the  harbor,  formerly  a  scene  of  bustling  activity,  there 
will  perchance  be  erected  a  monument  to  the  memory  of  those  who 
have  lost  their  lives  at  sea:  John  Williams,  Charles  Bennett,  John 
Barker,  James  Hall,  and  many  others,  and  not  the  least  among 
these  shall  stand  the  name  of  Christopher  Collier. 

The  meagreness  of  any  records  of  Cohasset's  captains  has  been 
spoken  of  in  these  pages,  but  the  author  of  this  chapter  hastens  to 
acknowledge  his  indebtedness  to  an  account  of  his  own  life,  written 


572  History  of  Cohasset. 

after  his  retirement  from  the  sea,  for  the  perusal  of  his  grand- 
children, by  Captain  John  P.  T.  Percival. 

This  very  interesting  account  gives  a  familiar  insight  into  the 
life  of  a  Yankee  sailor  fifty  to  eighty  years  ago. 

John  Philip  Turner  Percival  was  born  at  Hanover,  Mass., 
October  19,  1818.  When  eleven  years  of  age  he  made  his  first 
voyage  as  boy  on  the  fishing  schooner  La  Grange  from  Scituate, 
Captain,  Simeon  Bates.  He  was  allowed  to  take  this  trip  by  his 
parents  in  the  hope  that  he  would  be  cured  of  his  love  for  the  sea 
by  the  hardships  of  the  voyage,  but  after  the  usual  winter's  schooling 
of  the  Yankee  boys  of  those  days,  we  find  him  on  the  schooner 
Henry  Clay  of  Hingham,  and  during  the  season  he  held  up  his  end 
as  a  boy  of  twelve  by  catching  105  barrels  of  mackerel,  and  the 
next  season  the  same  vessel  had  him  as  a  member  of  her  crew. 

In  1832  he  sailed  under  Captain  John  Nye,  of  Hingham,  in  the 
schooner  Mary.  In  1*833  ne  makes  his  first  voyage  from  Cohasset 
in  the  schooner  Myra,  Henry  Snow,  Jr.,  Captain,  and  A.  H.  Tower, 
owner.  In  the  winter  of  1834  in  the  schooner  Billow,  Captain 
Samuel  Webb,  he  sailed  from  Scituate  to  Quincy,  where  a  cargo  of 
stone  was  taken  on  board  for  New  York. 

The  young  sailor  notes  with  curiosity  the  railway  built  to  convey 
the  stones  from  the  quarry  to  the  wharf,  the  first  of  its  kind  in 
America.  After  unloading  the  stone  in  New  York,  a  cargo  was 
taken  on  for  Richmond,  Va.  In  the  summer  he  again  became  a 
member  of  the  Myra's  crew. 

In  the  winter  of  1835  he  took  another  Southern  coasting  trip  in 
the  Billow,  and  in  the  summer  sailed  again  from  Cohasset  in  the 
fishing  schooner  Bela  Bates,  A.  H.  Tower,  owner,  Captain,  Nichols 
Pratt. 

In  1837,  at  the  age  of  nineteen,  he  became  Captain  and  one- 
eighth  owner  of  the  fishing  schooner  Achsah,  of  which  George 
Lawrence  of  Cohasset  owned  the  other  seven-eighths.  Having 
gone  as  far  as  he  could  in  the  fishing  industry,  he  went  to  Boston 
and  obtained  the  berth  of  mate  in  the  bark  Sarah  and  Esther, 
Captain,  Royal  S.  Higgins,  for  Gibraltar  and  Malaga.  On  his 
return  he  signed  with  Captain  Henry  Vinal,  of  Scituate,  in  the 
topsail  schooner  Ontario  as  mate.    The  first  trip  in  this  vessel  was 


CoJmssefs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  573 

to  Galveston  with  a  cargo  of  houses  ready  to  be  put  together,  and 
these  were  the  first  houses  erected  on  the  island.  During  the 
winter  trading  voyages  were  made  between  Galveston  and  New 
Orleans. 

In  1840  Mr.  Percival  shipped  on  board  the  new  ship  Palmyra 
before  the  mast  under  Captain  John  Cushing,  of  Hanover.  The 
voyage  was  to  Charleston,  Mobile,  Liverpool,  and  home,  but  at 
Charleston  he  was  promoted  to  the  position  of  third  mate,  and  on 
arriving  at  Boston  was  made  second  mate,  and  in  that  capacity 
made  a  voyage  to  New  Orleans  and  back.  He  was  then  made 
first  mate  of  the  bark  Gulnare,  still  under  Captain  Cushing,  and 
made  three  annual  voyages  with  him  to  Havana,  St.  Petersburg, 
Bordeaux,  and  New  Orleans. 

In  1844  he  sailed  on  the  bark  Juno  as  first  mate  under  Captain 
John  W.  Dicks  for  Havana,  St.  Petersburg,  Wiborg,  Bordeaux, 
New  Orleans,  Trieste,  and  Smyrna.  On  his  arrival  in  Boston  in 
August,  1845,  he  gave  up  his  position  and  was  married  to  Miss 
Drusilla  Snow,  daughter  of  Captain  Ephraim  Snow,  of  Cohasset. 

In  September,  1845,  ne  sailed  as  mate  of  the  ship  Niobe  to  New 
Orleans  and  return.  In  the  fall  of  1846  he  took  command  of  the 
schooner  Joshua  Bates,  of  Cohasset,  owned  by  Captain  Ephraim 
Snow  and  others,  for  a  trading  voyage  in  the  Gulf  of  Mexico, 
touching  at  Galveston,  New  Orleans,  Havana,  Mobile,  and  Apa- 
lachicola,  a  very  successful  trip  both  for  owners  and  captain.  On 
this  voyage  he  made  one  of  the  quickest  trips  on  record,  up  to 
that  time,  between  Havana  and  New  Orleans. 

At  the  end  of  the  fishing  season  in  1847  ne  started  out  with  the 
new  schooner  Matilda,  John  Bates,  owner,  for  a  trading  voyage  on 
the  Gulf  of  Mexico,  but  on  account  of  the  dullness  of  the  trade, 
passed  the  winter  in  freighting  between  New  Orleans  and 
Savannah. 

In  1850  Captain  Percival  obtained  the  position  of  first  mate 
in  the  new  ship  Moses  Wheeler,  built  by  the  celebrated  ship- 
builder Donald  McKay,  and  commanded  by  James  B.  King. 
In  this  vessel  he  made  three  voyages  to  New  Orleans,  thence  to 
Liverpool,  and  back  to  Boston  in  Enoch  Train's  line.  On  the 
last  of  these  voyages  he  received  at  Liverpool  a  letter  from 
Mr.  John  Bates,  offering  him  the  command  of  the  bark  Vesta,  a 


574  History  of  Cohasset. 

vessel  which  had  been  wrecked  on  the  Cohasset  rocks,  bought  by 
Mr.  Bates,  and  repaired.  He  accepted  this  offer,  but  found  when 
he  arrived  in  Boston  a  position  awaiting  him  as  captain  of  the 
new  bark  Falcon,  at  $125  per  month,  which  position  he  was 
obliged  to  decline. 

In  the  Vesta  Captain  Percival  made  successive  voyages  to 
Porto  Rico  and  back  to  Boston;  to  Marseilles  and  Messina, 
thence  to  New  York;  from  New  York  to  New  Orleans,  thence  to 
Philadelphia;  from  Philadelphia  to  New  Orleans  and  back  to 
Boston,  where  he  arrived  July  8,  1853.  On  July  25th  of  the 
same  year  he  left  for  Gibraltar,  accompanied  by  his  wife  and  his 
infant  son,  arriving  home  in  January,  1854. 

In  December  of  this  year,  the  Vesta  was  chartered  for  a  trad- 
ing voyage  along  the  west  coast  of  Africa.  On  this  voyage, 
when  off  the  coast  of  Africa,  Captain  Percival  was  stricken  with 
fever,  and  for  a  long  time  lay  in  a  hut  on  shore,  his  life  almost 
despaired  of  by  the  rude  natives,  who  were  his  only  attendants,  and 
whose  only  method  of  cure  was  the  beating  of  tom-toms.  At  length, 
in  spite  of  this  soothing  attention,  he  recovered  sufficiently  to  be 
placed  on  a  mattress  in  an  open  boat  and  rowed  down  the  coast 
until  he  fell  in  with  the  Vesta,  which  had  been  trading  up  and 
down  the  coast,  and  resumed  command.  This  voyage  was  ter- 
minated by  the  arrival  of  the  Vesta  in  Boston,  in  the  latter  part  of 
June. 

On  the  next  voyage  to  Smyrna  and  Constantinople,  the  bark 
was  attacked  in  the  Mediterranean  by  a  crew  of  pirates  who 
were  enabled  by  a  calm  to  steal  upon  the  Vesta  in  their  felucca 
and  cast  their  grappling  irons  over  the  rail.  The  officers  of  the 
Vesta,  Gustavus  Percival,  brother  of  the  Captain,  and  John  L. 
Pratt  of  Cohasset,  were,  however,  on  their  guard  and  with  the 
crew  were  ready  to  meet  them  and  beat  them  off.  The  grap- 
pling iron,  which  was  cut  from  its  rope,  hung  for  a  long  time  in 
the  office  of  the  owners  of  the  vessel,  Messrs.  Trull  Bros.,  who 
had  bought  the  Vesta  and  made  Captain  Percival  their  agent  as 
well  as  captain.  The  next  voyage  of  the  Vesta  was  made  under 
the  command  of  Gustavus  Percival,  Captain  Percival  remaining 
on  shore  to  build  the  house  on  South  Main  Street,  now  occupied 
by  Mr.  George  Nickerson.

CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  575 

In  January,  1856,  Captain  Percival  took  command  of  the 
Vesta  once  more,  and  made  two  more  voyages  to  the  Mediter- 
ranean, on  the  latter  of  which  he  was  accompanied  by  his  wife 
and  two  eldest  daughters.  On  this  voyage  the  Vesta  encountered 
so  severe  a  storm  outside  Gibraltar  that  she  was  obliged  to  lie  at 
Malta  six  weeks  for  repairs. 

These  voyages  were  made  during  the  Crimean  War,  and  when 
at  the  close  of  the  war  the  owners  had  no  further  use  for  the  vessel, 
the  Vesta  was  sold  in  Malta,  together  with  two  others  of  Trull 
Bros.'*  fleet,  and  Captain  Percival  and  his  family  returned  home 
as  passengers  in  the  ship  Pathfinder,  arriving  in  July,  1858. 

In  August  of  the  same  year,  having  bought  a  quarter  interest 
in  the  bark  Forest  Belle,  Captain  Percival  made  a  voyage  to  the 
Cape  of  Good  Hope,  and  in  January,  1859,  took  a  cargo  of  ice 
to  Savannah,  where  he  loaded  for  Beyrout,  Syria,  with  a  cargo  of 
lumber,  the  Syrian  Government  having  forbidden  the  cutting  of 
the  cedars  of  Lebanon  from  the  sides  of  the  mountain.  Captain 
Percival  was  accompanied  on  this  voyage  by  his  wife  and  three 
daughters.     Syrian  wool  made  the  cargo  for  the  voyage  home. 

In  i860,  in  the  same  vessel,  he  made  a  voyage  to  Havana, 
Cienfuegos,  and  back  to  Boston.  His  next  voyage  was  to  Liver- 
pool, which  was  made  in  nineteen  days,  but  he  missed  there  the 
fine  sailing  packet  ships  which  visited  this  port  in  the  forties  and 
early  fifties,  now  crowded  out  by  the  steamships.  At  Liverpool  a 
cargo  of  coal  was  taken  on  for  Genoa,  at  which  port,  after 
encountering  the  most  severe  storm  in  the  English  Channel  he 
had  ever  experienced,  Captain  Percival  arrived  safely,  whence  he 
sailed  for  Messina  for  a  cargo  of  fruit,  with  which  he  arrived  in 
Boston. 

In  May,  1861,  the  Forest  Belle  took  a  cargo  of  sugar  from 
Boston  to  Antwerp,  thence  to  Shields  for  a  cargo  of  coal  for  Bar- 
celona. On  arrival  at  this  port  it  was  learned  that  the  Confeder- 
ate Privateer  Sumter  had  been  cruising  off  Gibraltar,  capturing 
and  burning  American  merchantmen,  making  it  impossible  to 
obtain  a  charter  for  any  voyage  which  would  necessitate  passing 
through  the  Straits  of  Gibraltar.  The  vessel  was,  therefore, 
chartered  to  take  a  cargo  of  wheat  from  Alexandria  to  Mar- 
seilles, but  before  leaving  Barcelona  the  Sumter  was  reported 


576  History  of  Cokasset. 

cruising  off  Marseilles  and  Toulon.  The  voyage,  however,  was 
made  in  safety,  and  the  vessel  arrived  at  Alexandria  without 
being  sighted  by  the  Sumter.  At  this  port  news  of  the  Mason 
and  Slidell  affair  was  received,  and  Captain  Percival,  for  the 
first  time,  had  the  uncomfortable  experience  which  was  the  lot 
of  Yankee  captains  in  European  ports  during  the  Civil  War. 

At  that  time  the  English  captains  in  port  at  once  declared  war 
and  intimated  to  Captain  Percival  that  he  might,  before  reaching 
home,  be  taken  a  captive  and  held  under  the  paw  of  the  British 
Lion.  At  Marseilles  the  prospect  was  discouraging  enough. 
The  Sumter  was  cruising  off  outside  the  port;  a  large  part  of 
the  English  navy  was  lying  in  Gibraltar  Bay,  making  a  menacing 
appearance,  and  no  freight  offered  for  an  American  vessel.  The 
only  thing  to  do  was  to  wait.  The  sails  were  unbent,  put  in 
order,  and  stowed  away,  and  everything  was  snugged  up.  Part 
of  the  crew  were  discharged,  and  the  rest,  with  the  officers,  sat 
down  to  wait. 

The  freeing  of  Mason  and  Slidell  and  the  arrest  of  the  Sumter 
by  the  Spanish  Government  put  a  new  face  on  the  matter,  and 
Captain  Percival  found  it  an  easy  matter  to  obtain  a  cargo  of 
fruit  at  Palermo  for  Boston.  While  lying  in  the  Straits  of  Gib- 
raltar, waiting  for  a  change  of  wind,  he  had  the  satisfaction  of 
sailing  around  the  Sumter,  lying  in  Algeciras  Bay,  a  captive  of 
the  Spanish  Government.  The  trip  to  Boston  was  made  without 
falling  in  with  any  Confederate  vessels. 

In  seeking  for  a  new  charter  for  the  Forest  Belle  it  was  found 
that  the  old  routes  by  which  former  voyages  were  made  must  be 
abandoned  on  account  of  the  activity  of  the  Confederate  pri- 
vateers. Therefore  the  next  and  last  voyage  of  Captain  Percival 
was  to  a  part  of  the  world  never  before  visited  by  him  —  the 
coast  of  China.  On  June  28,  1862,  he  set  sail  for  the  port  of 
Shanghai,  where  he  arrived  February  1,  1863.  After  unloading, 
the  ship  was  chartered  for  trading  along  the  Chinese  coast,  and 
in  this  trade  Captain  Percival  remained  until  1866,  when  he 
returned  home,  leaving  the  Forest  Belle  in  charge  of  Captain 
Bryant,  of  Plympton.  The  vessel  was  afterwards  sold  in  China, 
and  Captain  Percival,  giving  up  the  calling  which  he  had  followed 
for  thirty-seven  years,  opened  a  drug  store  in  Boston,  in  partner- 


Cohasset1  s  Deep  Sea  Captains.  577 

ship  with  his  brother-in-law,  Dr.  French,  under  the  firm  name 
of  Percival  &  French.  Mr.  French's  interest  was  soon  after 
bought  out  by  Captain  Percival,  and  the  sign  of  J.  P.  T.  Percival 
on  the  corner  of  State  and  Washington  Streets,  later  nearly 
opposite,  and  finally  on  School  Street  as  the  City  Hall  Drug 
Store,  was  a  familiar  one  for  nearly  thirty  years  to  many  Boston 
people,  and  particularly  so  to  his  old  mercantile  and  seafaring 
friends,  especially  those  from  Cohasset  and  other  points  on  the 
South  Shore. 

It  could  never  be  said  of  Captain  Percival  that  the  life  of  a 
sailor  made  a  stern  or  rough  man  of  him,  for  he  was  uniformly 
pleasant  and  gentle.  He  was  devotedly  attached  to  his  family, 
and  found  greatest  pleasure  in  his  voyages  when  accompanied 
by  his  wife  and  children.  His  nature  was  such  that  he  took 
keen  enjoyment  in  the  strange  places  he  visited  abroad,  thus 
making  of  his  voyages  trips  in  search  of  pleasure  and  knowledge 
as  well  as  of  business.  With  the  first  money  which  he  was  able 
to  save  he  bought  and  presented  to  his  parents  their  homestead. 
He  was  helpful  also  to  his  brothers  in  their  seafaring  life.  The 
old  saying  could  be  applied  to  him  with  truth,  —  a  dutiful  son,  a 
good  brother,  and  a  kind  husband  and  father. 

Captain  Percival  died  in  Boston,  October  31,  1895. 

Captain  Joseph  H.  Smith  was  born  in  Portsmouth,  England, 
in  181 7,  and  when  a  young  man  was  a  sailor  on  the  Queen's 
yacht.  The  exact  inducement  which  led  him  to  settle  in  Cohasset 
we  do  not  know.  In  1841  he  paid  hospital  money  at  the  port  of 
Cohasset  as  the  captain  of  the  schooner  Triton.  In  1845  he 
interested  Mr.  Laban  Souther  to  build  with  him  the  brig  Almatia, 
of  98  tons  burden.  While  she  was  building,  he  and  Mr.  George 
Lawrence  made  a  trip  to  Virginia  for  a  load  of  corn,  and  subse- 
quently made  another  trip  for  a  load  of  oysters  for  the  Boston 
market.  The  facilities  for  caring  for  a  perishable  commodity 
in  those  days  were  few  and  imperfect  compared  with  those  of 
to-day,  nor  was  the  capacity  of  Boston  for  this  toothsome  bivalve 
anywhere  near  what  it  is  now.  Consequently  when  Captain  Smith 
and  Mr.  Lawrence  arrived  in  Boston  and  found  that  another 
schooner  had  just  brought  in  a  load  of  oysters,  they  saw  that  their 


578  History  of  C  okas  set. 

venture  was  a  total  loss.  They  consequently  sailed  for  Cohasset, 
and  at  a  point  between  Whitehead  and  the  entrance  to  the  Cove 
threw  the  cargo  overboard,  where  the  shells  could  be  seen  for 
years  afterward  lying  on  the  bottom. 

In  a  short  time  after  the  Almatia  was  built  Captain  Smith  was 
able  to  buy  Mr.  Souther's  interest,  and  made  thirty-seven  trips 
in  her  to  Curacoa.  The  Almatia  later,  while  under  the  command 
of  Captain  Merritt,  of  Scituate,  was  wrecked  on  Cape  Cod. 
Captain  Smith  then  bought,  in  1852,  the  full-rigged  brig  George 
Otis,  and  sold  her  in  France.  The  next  vessel  which  he  com- 
manded, and  of  which  he  owned  a  quarter,  was  the  283-ton  bark 
Martha  Allen,  built  at  Scituate  in  1^49,  which  he  sold  in  Smyrna. 
He  then  bought  the  453-ton  ship  Sarah,  in  which  he  made 
several  voyages.  On  one  of  his  voyages  he  found  himself  at 
Buenos  Ayres,  unable  to  obtain  a  cargo  home.  He  therefore 
went  to  Turks  Island  for  a  load  of  salt,  and  while  there  bought 
at  a  bargain  two  brigs,  which  had  been  washed  ashore  by  a 
tidal  wave.  On  his  return  to  Cohasset  he  succeeded  in  interest- 
ing Mr.  Isaac  Hall  in  the  project,  and  they  fitted  out  the  Sarah, 
manned  by  a  crew  of  Cohasset  men,  returned  to  Turks  Island, 
got  the  brigs  off,  and  brought  them  to  Boston. 

These  brigs  were  named  the  Mungo  Park  and  the  River  Belle. 
Captain  Smith  commanded  one,  Isaac  Hall  the  other,  and  Joe 
Ware  the  Sarah. 

The  next  voyage  of  the  Sarah  was  to  Charleston,  S.  C,  under 
the  command  of  Captain  Henry  Merritt,  where  she  was  to  load 
for  France,  but  off  Cape  Hatteras  the  vessel  took  fire  and  was  a 
total  loss.  The  crew,  of  which  George  H.  Smith,  the  captain's 
son,  was  one,  escaped  in  boats  and  were  picked  up  and  taken 
into  Savannah. 

In  1856  Captain  Smith  took  command  of  the  bark  Quincy, 
built  at  Quincy,  and  owned  by  John  T.  Shattuck,  in  which  he 
made  a  voyage  to  Curacoa  and  back  with  Christopher  Collier  as 
mate.  Under  the  date  of  May  7,  1857,  appears  the  record  in  the 
Register  of  the  Boston  Custom  House  of  the  473-ton  bark 
Almatia,  owned  by  James  Gould  and  Joseph  Young,  and  built 
by  William  Hall  of  Boston,  Joseph  H.  Smith,  captain.  The 
only  bark  Almatia  of  which  George  H.  Smith  has  any  recollection,

with  which  his  father  had  any  connection,  was  built  at  about 
that  time  of  about  that  tonnage,  but  was  built  at  Scituate  by  the 
Briggs  Brothers,  and  owned  by  Captain  Smith  and  A.  H.  Tower. 
George  Smith  and  D.  N.  Tower,  young  boys  then,  went  down  to 
the  launching.  Mr.  C.  A.  Cousens  had  the  contract  for  making 
her  sails,  which  was  his  first  contract. 

The  Almatia  was  sold  as  soon  as  she  was  loaded,  and  Captain 
Smith  never  sailed  as  her  master.  From  "  Shipbuilding  on  the 
North  River,"  by  L.  Vernon  Briggs,  we  quote,  "  The  last  vessel 
built  by  Sylvester  and  Barnabas  Briggs  was  the  bark  Eveline, 
650  tons,  for  Captain  Joseph  H.  Smith,  of  Cohasset.  She  was 
begun  February  10,  1859.  She  made  a  remarkably  quick  passage 
on  her  first  trip,  arriving  at  her  port  two  days  before  she  was  due." 

He  next  owned  and  sailed,  in  i860,  the  922-ton  ship  Rockland, 
in  which  he  made  a  number  of  voyages  to  New  Orleans,  and  sold 
her  in  London.  At  this  time  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  was  in 
progress,  and  Captain  Smith  obtained  a  government  contract  to 
clean  the  bottoms  of  vessels  at  Port  Royal,  S.  C,  and  stayed  there 
two  years  or  more,  his  son,  George,  being  with  him. 

At  the  close  of  the  war  he  took  command  for  the  firm  of  F.  Nick- 
erson  &  Company  the  671-ton  steamer  Aurora.  The  Aurora  was 
bought  from  the  United  States  Government,  and  was  formerly 
called  the  Itasca.  This  vessel  Captain  Smith  sold  in  Callao  to 
the  Peruvian  Government.  This  was  his  last  voyage.  After  his 
retirement  from  sea,  he  acted  as  Underwriter's  Agent  for  the 
Boston  Insurance  Company. 

Captain  Smith  united  with  good  seamanship  an  unusual 
capacity  for  business,  which  enabled  him  to  take  advantage  of 
opportunities  offering  which  other  captains  would  have  failed  to, 
see. 

He  died  in  Cohasset,  December  28,  1879. 

Jacob  Flint  Bates  was  born  in  Cohasset,  August  8,  1822,  in 
the  house  now  owned  by  his  niece,  Mrs.  Nathan  Manasse.  His, 
paternal  grandfather,  Samuel  Bates,  was  lost  in  his  schooner  off 
the  Rocks  outside  Cohasset  harbor,  and  his  maternal  grandfather, 
Nathaniel  Nichols,  known  as  "Captain  Than,"  was  at  one  time 
captain  of  a  revenue  cutter. 


580  History  of  Cohasset. 

After  learning  the  carpenter's  trade  in  Boston  and  trying  for  a 
few  months  to  become  an  apothecary,  he  took  up  the  calling  which 
was  to  be  his  through  life,  and  which  has  drawn  so  many  Cohasset 
boys  away  from  trades  and  shops  —  the  calling  of  a  sailor. 

Probably  his  first  deep  sea  voyage  was  made  in  the  bark  Hobart 
early  in  1842,  when  under  the  command  of  Captain  James  Collier 
she  made  a  trip  from  New  York  to  Charleston,  Bordeaux,  New 
Orleans,  and  back  to  New  York. 

In  October  of  the  same  year  he  again  shipped  on  the  Hobart  for 
a  voyage  to  South  America,  but  as  has  already  been  told  in  the 
life  of  Captain  James  Collier,  did  not  get  back  to  New  York  until 
1847,  when  he  returned  as  first  mate  of  the  Hobart.  It  must  have 
been  hard  for  these  Cohasset  boys  on  their  arrival  in  New  York 
to  find  that  their  return  to  Cohasset  was  to  be  deferred  for  a  short 
time.  The  famine  in  Ireland  called  for  provisions  and  the  Hobart 
was  chartered  to  carry  a  cargo  to  the  sufferers  in  that  stricken 
country.  On  his  return  to  Cohasset  he  married,  in  December, 
1847,  Caroline  Lothrop  Bates.  The  next  year  he  served  as  first 
mate  on  the  brig  Monserrat  under  the  command  of  his  brother-in- 
law,  Captain  Collier,  on  a  voyage  from  New  York  to  Porto  Rico 
and  return. 

At  the  completion  of  this  voyage  he  took  command  of  the  brig 
Allen  King,  plying  between  New  York  and  ports  in  South  America. 
On  one  of  these  voyages  in  1850  he  was  accompanied  by  his  wife 
and  infant  daughter.  In  185 1  the  Allen  King  was  wrecked  on  a 
coral  reef  off  the  coast  of  Balize.  No  blame  attached  to  the 
captain  of  the  brig  for  this  disaster,  as  the  reef  lay  further  off 
shore  than  was  represented  on  the  map,  and  the  absence  of 
breakers  prevented  discovery  of  the  danger  lurking  beneath  the 
calm  surface  of  the  ocean.  No  lives  were  lost,  and  the  passengers 
and  crew  were  safely  landed  at  Balize. 

The  next  command  of  Captain  Bates  was  the  William  Alden, 
in  which  he  sailed  in  the  same  trade  between  New  York  and  Balize 
until  1857,  when  he  took  command  of  the  bark  Honduras,  a  new 
vessel  built  for  him  under  his  supervision  on  East  River,  New  York. 
In  this  vessel  Captain  Bates  was  a  large  shareholder.  For  ten 
years  he  commanded  the  Honduras,  making  voyages  to  Balize, 
Buenos  Ayres,   Montevideo,   and  other  South  American  ports,

stopping  often  at  the  West  Indies  for  a  return  cargo.  During  a 
part  of  this  time  the  War  of  the  Rebellion  was  going  on,  and  all 
the  vigilance  of  Captain  Bates  was  necessary  to  prevent  the 
Honduras  from  falling  into  the  hands  of  the  Confederate  privateers. 

From  1861  to  1863  Captain  Bates  remained  on  shore  cultivating 
the  farm  he  had  bought  at  Hempstead,  Long  Island,  where  his 
two  younger  daughters  were  born. 

In  1870  Captain  Bates,  like  so  many  other  natives  of  Cohasset, 
returned  to  the  home  of  his  birth  and  established  his  family  in  the 
house  on  South  Main  Street,  which  was  his  home  until  his  death. 

His  next  command  was  the  bark  James  L.  Pender gast,  in  which 
vessel  he  sailed  for  eleven  years,  making  voyages  between  America 
and  Europe.  Not  all  of  these  voyages  were  over  untroubled  seas, 
for  in  the  possession  of  the  family  of  Captain  Bates  is  a  picture  of 
the  Pender  gast,  depicted  riding  the  mountainous  waves  with  only 
the  foresails  set.  This  picture  was  executed  in  Havre  by  an 
artist  who  followed  the  description  by  Captain  Bates  of  the  storm 
which  threatened  to  engulf  the  Pender  gast.  No  wonder  that  the 
thoughts  of  Captain  Bates  reverted  to  the  sad  fate  of  his  boyhood 
shipmate,  Captain  James  Hall,  as  his  vessel  scudded  before  the  gale. 

In  1881  the  Pendergast  made  a  trip  to  Capetown,  thence  across 
the  Indian  Ocean  to  Java,  from  there  to  Singapore,  and  thence 
home.  At  the  completion  of  this  long  voyage  Captain  Bates 
took  a  summer's  rest  at  his  Cohasset  home. 

In  the  fall  of  1882  he  took  on  a  new  command,  the  bark  Thomas 
Fletcher,  and  sailed  November  9th  to  England,  but  on  the  return 
voyage  encountered  such  terrific  gales  in  the  English  Channel  that 
he  was  obliged  to  put  in  to  Falmouth  with  all  the  masts  sprung  and 
one  gone  by  the  board.  On  his  return  to  New  York  he  sailed  for 
Brunswick,  Georgia,  where  he  loaded  with  lumber  for  Buenos 
Ayres,  and  from  this  city,  which  had  been  one  of  the  first  foreign 
ports  he  had  visited  as  a  young  man,  and  which  had  been  his  goal 
for  so  many  voyages  since,  he  sailed  back  and  forth  several  times 
to  Montreal  and  Quebec,  or  to  Brunswick,  Georgia. 

On  the  20th  of  August,  1885,  the  Thomas  Fletcher  sailed  from 
Quebec  on  what  proved  to  be  her  last  voyage,  her  destination 
Buenos  Ayres.  After  eighty-seven  days  of  slow  sailing  she  had 
come  to  within  about  eight  hundred  miles  of  her  destination,  when 


582  History  of  Cohasset. 

a  violent  gale  with  heavy  seas  sprang  up,  and  the  deck  load  began 
to  slip  into  the  ocean  as  the  Fletcher  put  her  sail  under  water. 
Soon  the  straining  of  the  vessel  opened  her  seams,  and  the  crew 
were  put  to  the  pumps.  Still  the  water  gained  and  at  midnight 
had  broken  into  the  cabin  from  below,  when  the  attempt  to  keep 
the  waterlogged  vessel  clear  by  pumping  was  given  up. 

In  rapid  succession  the  log  book  describes  the  throwing  over- 
board of  the  remaining  deck-load,  the  bursting  open  of  the  seams 
of  the  deck,  the  carrying  away  of  the  lee  pin-rail  and  bulwarks,  the 
houses  on  deck  nearly  full  of  water  and  commencing  to  break  up, 
provisions  and  wearing  apparel  spoiled,  soaked  and  washed  away, 
the  water  tanks  below  deck  covered  with  sea  water,  and  the  one 
on  deck  only  protected  from  the  constant  surge  of  the  waves  by 
the  small  portion  of  the  deck  load  kept  for  that  purpose,  sails  set 
to  steady  the  vessel,  only  to  be  blown  to  ribbons. 

For  twelve  days  the  Thomas  Fletcher,  now  little  more  than  a 
water-logged  hulk,  drifted  toward  her  destination,  the  boats  in 
readiness  to  be  launched  at  the  first  sign  of  her  breaking  up,  the 
masts  still  standing,  but  the  axes  handy  in  case  it  should  be 
necessary  to  cut  some  of  them  away  to  keep  the  bark  afloat,  all 
hands  anxiously  on  the  lookout  for  a  sail.  At  length,  twelve  days 
after  the  first  gale  had  struck  her,  the  Thomas  Fletcher  limped  into 
the  harbor  of  Montevideo,  still  one  hundred  miles  from  the  city 
of  Buenos  Ayres.  With  the  help  of  a  tug  this  voyage  was  made 
at  the  rate  of  five  miles  per  day,  until  on  December  21,  1885,  four 
months  from  the  day  she  left  Quebec,  a  period  longer  than  is 
sometimes  taken  for  the  voyage  round  the  Horn  to  San  Francisco, 
the  Fletcher  tied  up  at  the  wharf  of  Buenos  Ayres  and  began  to 
unload  the  cargo  of  water-soaked  lumber  which  she  had  carried  in 
her  hold  so  many  weary  days. 

After  unloading,  the  bark  was  condemned  as  unseaworthy,  and 
sold  at  auction.  No  doubt  the  feeling  in  Captain  Bates's  mind 
was  something  akin  to  that  of  David  Harum's  in  regard  to  his 
balky  horse  when  he  remarked,  "The'  was  times  when  if  he'd 
a  fell  down  dead,  I  wouldn't  hev  figgered  on  puttin'  a  band  on  my 
hat." 

June  17,  1886,  Captain  Bates  arrived  in  Cohasset,  anticipating 
that  he  had  made  his  last  voyage.    But  his  old  bark,  the  James  L. 


Cohassefs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  583 

Pendergast,  was  at  New  York,  and  her  owners,  E.  D.  Morgan  &  Co., 
commissioned  Captain  Bates  to  fit  her  out  for  a  trip  to  France. 
When  the  bark  was  ready  for  sea,  Captain  Bates  could  not  resist 
the  temptation  of  making  one  more  trip  as  her  master.  So  on 
August  11,  1887,  he  sailed  from  New  York  on  his  last  voyage. 
The  voyage  was  to  Rouen,  France,  thence  to  Georgia,  from 
Georgia  to  South  America,  and  back  home  to  New  York,  where  on 
the  nth  of  October,  1888,  he  ended  forty-four  years  of  seagoing. 

If  Captain  Bates  possessed  one  characteristic  which  distinguished 
him  from  other  men  of  his  calling,  it  was  his  gentleness.  The 
discipline  on  board  the  vessels  he  commanded,  which  was  excellent, 
was  obtained  by  courteous  and  kind  treatment.  He  was  so  tender- 
hearted that  he  could  not  bear  to  see  suffering,  even  in  animals, 
and  on  one  occasion  laid  his  vessel  to  to  pick  up  a  cat  which  had 
fallen  overboard.  Much  of  his  life  had  been  spent  in  the  Spanish 
ports  of  Europe  and  South  America,  and  by  study  he  became 
master  of  the  Spanish  language. 

While  in  the  ports  and  cities  of  France  he  turned  his  attention 
to  the  language  of  that  country,  and  attained  to  some  proficiency 
in  it.  His  spare  time  on  board  ship  was  spent  in  the  perusal  of 
good  literature,  and  his  mind  was  singularly  well  stored  with 
information  gained  by  the  improvement  of  these  leisure  hours. 

His  capacity  for  enjoying  the  strange  sights  of  the  foreign  cities 
he  visited  was  immense,  and  his  only  regret  was  in  the  fact  that  he 
did  not  have  the  members  of  his  family  with  him  to  share  his 
pleasure.  On  many  occasions  when  his  voyages  brought  him  into 
South  American  ports  he  found  the  yellow  fever  raging  there,  but 
he  was  singularly  immune  to  this  disease,  as  much  probably  from 
his  correct  habits  of  life  and  careful  manner  of  living  as  from 
anything  peculiar  in  his  constitution.  He  was  ever  ready  to  act 
as  attendant  to  members  of  his  crew  or  countrymen  stricken  with 
this  disease  in  a  foreign  land,  nursing  them  back  to  life  or  com- 
forting their  last  moments  on  earth  with  his  soothing  ministrations. 

He  died  at  his  home  in  Cohasset  in  the  year  1898,  one  to  whom 
the  words  of  Shakespeare  may  fitly  be  applied,  —  "  His  life  was 
gentle  and  the  elements  so  mixed  in  him  that  Nature  might  stand 
up  and  say  to  all  the  world,  'This  was  a  man.'" 

As  has  been  said  early  in  this  chapter,  there  were  three  Cohasset 


584  History  of  Cohasset. 

boys  on  the  clipper  ship  Storm  King,  making  their  first  voyage  on 
a  new  ship.  These  were  John  Hall,  Ezekiel  Marshall,  and 
Samuel  P.  Bates.  The  first  of  these  was  the  cousin  of  the 
captain,  and  his  father,  Samuel  Hall,  had  been  a  captain  of  fishing 
and  coasting  vessels. 

During  the  War  of  the  Rebellion,  John  Hall  served  in  the  navy, 
and  at  the  expiration  of  his  term  served  as  mate  on  steamers  plying 
between  Valparaiso  and  Panama.  He  finally  became  captain  of 
one  of  these  steamers. 

Ezekiel  Marshall  early  in  life  went  to  the  Pacific  coast  of  the 
United  States,  where  he  arose  to  be  captain  of  a  vessel,  but  finally 
entered  the  lumber  business. 

Samuel  P.  Bates,  a  nephew  of  the  captain  of  the  Storm  King, 
remained  with  him  after  the  voyage  in  the  Storm  King  was  com- 
pleted, and  rose  through  the  grades  from  boy  to  ordinary  seaman, 
thence  to  able  seaman,  finally  becoming  first  officer  of  theTecumseh, 
North  America,  and  Pharos;  he  also  served  under  Captain  John 
Warren  Bates  on  the  Flying  Eagle. 

His  first  command  was  the  schooner  M.  A.  Snow,  owned  by 
Ephraim  Snow,  of  Cohasset,  which  he  took  from  Boston  to  San 
Francisco.  On  this  voyage,  off  the  coast  of  Chili,  he  took  a  crew 
from  their  shipwrecked  vessel  and  carried  them  into  Valparaiso. 
In  spite  of  this  detention  the  trip  was  made  from  Boston  to  San 
Francisco  in  140  days,  which  for  so  small  a  vessel,  about  100  tons, 
was  a  very  good  passage. 

After  arriving  on  the  Pacific  coast,  Captain  Bates  made  his 
home  there,  entering  the  employ  of  J.  W.  Ralston  &  Co.,  of  San 
Francisco,  trading  between  that  port  and  Bellingham  Bay.  He 
also  made  voyages  to  Australia  and  China,  commanding  various 
ships,  among  them,  it  is  said,  being  the  old  Amethyst,  in  which  his 
townsman,  Joseph  Willcut,  had  sailed  a  half  century  before. 
During  his  lifetime  he  visited  nearly  all  the  important  ports  of  the 
world,  and  his  voyages  were  made  without  any  serious  accident. 

Captain  Bates,  like  many  men  who  have  traveled  far  and  seen 
much,  was  of  a  quiet,  unassuming  disposition,  making  friends 
both  at  home  and  abroad.  By  his  integrity  and  straightforward- 
ness he  won  the  esteem  and  confidence  of  his  employers,  who 
valued  him  not  less  as  a  friend  than  as  an  employee.    In  1884  he 


<; 


CohasseVs  Deep  Sea  Captains.  585 

retired  from  the  sea  and  spent  the 'last  years  of  his  life  in  Cohasset, 
where  he  died  June  10,  1908,  the  last  of  Cohasset's  deep  sea 
captains  residing  in  the  town. 

Captain  Harrison  P.  Snow,  now  living  at  Nantasket,  is  the 
last  survivor  of  Cohasset's  deep  sea  captains.  His  father  was 
Captain  Ephraim  Snow,  who  owned  a  fleet  of  fishing  schooners, 
having  a  wharf  on  the  northerly  side  of  the  Cove.  This  business 
was  later  transferred  to  East  Boston. 

Captain  Snow  made  his  first  voyage  as  captain  in  the  year  1863, 
when  he  took  the  132-ton  schooner,  the  H.  N.  Ruggles,  from 
Boston  to  Valparaiso,  thence  to  San  Francisco,  where  he  sold  her 
and  came  home.  This  vessel  was  owned,  one-eighth  by  Harrison 
P.  Snow,  three-eighths  by  Ephraim  Snow,  one-eighth  by  Calvin 
Merriam  of  Cohasset,  and  three-eighths  by  Bela  F.  Jacobs  of 
South  Scituate. 

The  bark  Ethan  Allen  was  then  bought,  and  for  four  years 
Captain  Snow  commanded  her  in  voyages  to  Honolulu,  San 
Francisco,  China,  and  Australia.  In  187 1  he  returned  to  Cohasset, 
and  for  a  few  years  remained  on  shore.  He  then  sailed  in  the 
fruit  trade  between  Philadelphia  and  the  West  Indies  in  the 
schooner  White  Wing  and  the  steamer  Gulnare. 

In  1879  he  went  as  first  mate  on  the  ship  Highland  Light  from 
New  York  to  Japan  and  return.  In  1882  he  gave  up  the  sea 
altogether,  and  since  that  time  has  been  with  the  Nantasket  Beach 
Steamboat  Company  as  Wharf  Agent. 

In  addition  to  the  135  vessels  mentioned  in  the  "Narrative  History 
of  Cohasset"  as  having  been  built  in  Cohasset,  we  append  a  list 
of  other  vessels  built  there,  which  have  been  found  by  the  writer 
of  this  chapter  in  turning  over  every  leaf  in  the  registers  at  the 
Boston  Custom  House  from  the  year  1806  to  1870.

Cohasset1  s  Deep  Sea  Captains.  587 

This,  of  course,  gives  the  names  only  of  such  vessels  as  were 
registered  for  deep  sea  voyages,  as  the  author  was  searching  pri- 
marily for  deep  sea  captains  and  vessels.  The  enrollment  book 
of  the  Port  of  Cohasset,  if  it  could  be  found  (and  it  is  probably 
stowed  away  in  some  attic),  might  furnish  other  names.  There 
would  doubtless  be  found  the  enrollment  of  the  bark  Hobart, 
June  10,  1840,  there  also  the  enrollment  of  the  ship  Grand  Turk. 
In  regard  to  the  latter  vessel  there  seems  to  be  a  mystery  which 
cannot  be  fathomed. 

The  diary  of  Joel  Willcutt  has  these  two  entries,  "  1829,  Feb- 
ruary 5,  the  ship  Grand  Turk  launched  this  day."  "  February  8, 
the  new  ship  went  to  Boston."  But  she  is  neither  enrolled  nor 
registered  in  Boston,  nor  does  the  register  of  the  Port  of  Salem 
bear  her  name,  although  two  other  Grand  Turks  were  built  for 
E.  H.  Derby  of  that  city,  one  of  them,  built  in  1781,  hailing  from 
the  "  South  Shore." 

Possibly  the  owner  of  the  Cohasset  Grand  Turk,  on  making  appli- 
cation for  a  register,  found  there  was  already  a  ship  afloat  under 
that  name  and  took   the  name  of  the   Hellespont,   which  ship, 
hailing  from  Cohasset,  was  registered  in  Boston  in  April  of  the  same , 
year.     But  this  is  only  surmise. 

The  registers  of  the  Boston  Custom  House  from  1789  to  1806 
are  in  Washington,  and  there  seems  no  probability  of  their  ever 
being  returned.  These  registers  probably  contain  the  names  of 
other  vessels  built  at  Cohasset.  At  this  point  the  author  wishes 
to  express  his  appreciation  of  the  labor  of  the  Rev.  E.  Victor  Bige- 
low  in  collecting  his  data  on  ship  building  in  Cohasset  for  the 
Narrative  History,  an  appreciation  formed  by  going  painfully 
over  the  same  ground. 

The  author  is  indebted  to  Mr.  John  Robinson,  of  the  Marine 
Department  of  the  Peabody  Museum,  Salem,  for  the  following 
information  in  regard  to  Cohasset-built  vessels  owned  in  Salem:  — 

Schooner  Whim,  100  tons,  1794,  owned  by  John  Derby. 

Schooner  Minerva,  103  tons,  1799,  owned  by  James  Silver  and 
others. 

Ship  Nerva,  277  tons,  1805,  owned  by  Simon  Forrester  and 
others. 

Schooner  Speedwell,  96  tons,  181 1,  owned  by  James  Odell,  1824.

David  Pingree  and  others,  1844. 

Bark  Lewis,  217  tons,  1841,  owned  by  George  West  and  others 
in  1848. 

Bark  Euro  pa,  397  tons,  1849,  owned  by  B.  W.  Stone  and  others 
of  Salem. 

To  Mr.  G.  F.  Dow,  secretary  of  the  Essex  Institute,  Salem,  the 
author  is  indebted  for  the  loan  of  the  cuts  of  the  William  Schroder 
and  the  Eliza  Burgess. 

It  seems  strange  that  no  vessel  launched  from  Cohasset  was 
given  the  name  of  the  town  from  which  it  hailed,  but  the  ship 
Conohasset  is  the  only  namesake  of  Cohasset  built  in  Cohasset. 
The  registry  of  the  Boston  Custom  House  has  a  63-ton  schooner 
built  in  Boston  in  1835  named  Coliasset,  and  owned  by  James 
Huckins  and  Horace  Scudder. 

The  author  lets  this  chapter  go  from  his  hands  with  a  feeling  of 
satisfaction  that  at  this  late  day  and  with  limited  time  at  his  com- 
mand, he  has  been  able  to  get  so  much,  but  with  a  deep  feeling 
of  regret  that  he  was  able  to  obtain  so  little  concerning  so  many 
of  Cohasset's  deep  sea  captains.

WRECKS,    WRECKING    AND    LIFE    SAVING    IN 
COHASSET. 

By  Oliver  H.  Howe. 

The  Narrative  History  of  Cohasset  has  mentioned  a  few  of  the 
wrecks  which  occurred  off  Cohasset,  and  has  given  full  particu- 
lars of  the  notable  wreck  of  the  emigrant  ship  St.  John  in  1849. 
The  following  account  of  some  additional  disasters  with  inciden- 
tal life-saving  and  salvage  of  property  may  be  of  interest.  The 
earliest  records  obtainable  are  in  the  diary  of  Joel  Willcutt.  (See 
page  478  of  this  volume.)  These  quaint  entries  show  the  close 
sympathy  of  the  people  of  this  sea-faring  town  with  disasters  of 
this  kind.  With  Christian  services  they  buried  many  of  the  dead 
and  if  the  tale  could  be  written  of  those  wounded  and  frost-bitten 
who  were  nursed  and  cared  for  in  Cohasset  homes  and  sent  on 
their  way  rejoicing,  it  would  make  a  long  chapter.  The  following 
entries  in  Mr  Willcutt's  diary  have  been  copied  verbatim.

Further  testimony  to  the  heroism  of  Cohasset  men  is  found  in 
the  records  of  the  Humane  Society  of  the  Commonwealth  of 
Massachusetts  (instituted  1785).  A  few  items  gleaned  from  the 
reports  of  this  Society  are  as  follows.

Probably  some  other  names  in  the  Society's  record  belong  to

Some  other  awards  are  mentioned  later  in  this  chapter  in  connec- 
tion with  the  services  rendered. 

About  1830  the  schooner  Rosebud  (probably  running  as  a  packet 
between  New  York  and  Boston)  was  wrecked  on  Bassing  Beach. 
The  cargo  was  saved  by  Cohasset  men,  and  the  vessel  is  said  to 
have  been  only  slightly  damaged. 

On  April  12,  1831  the  schooner  Boston  was  wrecked  on  Chest 
Ledge.  The  captain,  named  Webber  had  lashed  himself  to  the 
mast  and  when  the  schooner  struck  he  tried  to  get  free  to  help 
save  the  vessel.  Just  as  he  became  free  he  was  washed  over- 
board by  a  heavy  sea  and  drowned.  Owing  to  the  prompt  exer- 
tions of  George  W.k  Collier  and  others  from  the  shore,  all  the  crew 
were  saved.  Mr  Collier  saw  the  wreck  from  his  home  (the  old 
Collier  house  at  North  Scituate  Beach).  Hastening  to  Cohasset 
he  collected  a  crew  of  seven  men,  who,  carrying  a  boat  across 
Bassing  Beach,  went  to  the  rescue  of  the  shipwrecked  sailors. 
For  this  brave  work  the  Mass.  Humane  Society  gave  gold  medals 
to  George  W.  Collier  and  seven  others.  Six  of  the  others  are  said 
to  be  Capt.  John  Barker,  John  Lothrop,  Lewis  Willcutt,  Samuel 
Stockbridge,  Joseph  Briggs  and  probably  James  Collier.  Some  are 
said  to  have  received  $10.  in  preference  to  the  medal. 

At  about  1840  the  Swedish  brig  Copenhagen  struck  on  the  Sea 
Ledges,  badly  injuring  her  bottom.  The  rising  tide  and  heavy 
sea  drove  her  over  the  ledge,  and  she  shortly  after  grounded  on 
Brush  Island.  She  was  loaded  with  hemp  and  with  Russian  crash 
and  duck,  and  Cohasset  men  were  hard  at  work  unloading  her 
while  people  of  all  ages  were  busy  along  the  shore  "fishing  up  the 
crash."  The  tale  is  told  that  when  the  bales  of  hemp  were  exam- 
ined by  the  Custom  House  officer  and  compared  with  the  bill-of- 


t//L<y/ur^  cy^z^^y 


Wrecks,  Wrecking  and  Life  Saving  in  Cohasset.      593 

lading,  only  one  bale  was  missing.  It  is  said  that  later  a  Cohasset 
fisherman  grappled  and  raised  the  last  bale,  and  that  the  Custom 
House  officials  remarked:  "How  honest  these  Cohasset  men  are!" 

In  the  spring  of  1843  the  schooner  Maine  struck  on  the  ledges 
near  Pleasant  Beach,  and  went  to  pieces.  As  she  broke  up,  a 
large  portion  of  the  quarter-deck,  with  three  men  clinging  to  it,  was 
carried  by  the  sea  close  to  the  rock  in  the  middle  of  Pleasant  Beach. 
The  men  jumped  upon  the  rock  and  were  safe,  and  the  next  instant 
the  wreckage  glided  out  from  under  them  and  was  dashed  to 
kindling  wood  against  the  ledges  on  what  is  now  the  Kimball 
property.  The  vessel  was  loaded  with  shoes,  and  many  of  the 
people  obtained  a  long  supply  of  foot  gear  from  the  beaches.  In 
November,  1843,  the  brig  Melazo  struck  on  East  Shag  rock  and 
drifted  to  between  Gull  and  Shepard's  ledges.  Her  cargo  of  sugar 
in  boxes  was  saved  by  Cohasset  men,  and  the  vessel  was  also 
saved. 

Perhaps  the  most  notable  work  of  wrecking  by  Cohasset  men 
was  in  connection  with  the  ship  Alabama.  On  the  night  before 
Thanksgiving  in  1847  she  struck  on  Minots  Ledge  where  the  light- 
house was  later  erected,  and  drifted  about  two  miles  to  the  east- 
ward, where  she  sank  in  ninety  feet  of  water.  Her  topgallant 
masts  are  said  to  have  been  visible  above  the  water,  but  in  the 
following  February  they  disappeared  as  the  vessel  broke  open. 
Some  of  the  cabin  fittings  came  ashore  at  White  Head.  Capt. 
George  Hall  is  said  to  have  re-discovered  the  locality  of  the  wreck 
by  noticing  a  peculiar  yellow  appearance  in  the  water.  The 
Alabama  was  a  large  ship  for  those  days,  and  had  sailed  from 
Liverpool  for  Boston  with  a  very  valuable  assorted  cargo,  con- 
sisting of  china  and  crockery  ware,  tools,  cutlery,  railroad  iron, 
chains  of  various  kinds  and  sizes,  and  carpets,  shawls,  and  other 
fabrics. 

In  early  summer  a  number  of  Cohasset  men  under  the  lead  of 
Capt.  Nichols  Tower,  who  was  Underwriter's  Agent  and  wrecking 
master,  formed  a  company  and  made  elaborate  preparations  to 
save  the  cargo.  They  secured  the  schooner  Anaconda  and  had  a 
particular  form  of  tongs  made  at  the  blacksmith  shop  of  Mr. 
Prentiss  at  the  Cove  (in  the  building  later  used  for  a  store  by 
Mr.  Caleb  F.  Nichols).    The  wreck  was  too  deep  for  work  by 


594  History  of  Cohasset. 

diving  operations,  but  a  diver  in  a  suit  was  sent  down  to  recon- 
noitre. He  found  the  vessel  broken  open  and  some  crockery 
dishes  strewn  upon  the  bottom.  By  means  of  the  tongs,  crates  of 
crockery  ware  could  be  caught  and  brought  to  the  surface  with 
their  contents  uninjured.  Cutlery  and  chains  were  found  packed 
in  casks.  Tools  of  various  kinds  were  secured  in  abundance,  and 
all  the  carpenters  in  town  were  provided  with  fine  new  saws.  A 
curious  and  almost  incredible  statement  is  made  that  polished 
tools  and  cutlery  exposed  to  the  action  of  salt  water  at  that  depth 
did  not  rust,  because  away  from  the  air,  but  that  they  would 
immediately  begin  to  rust  as  soon  as  laid  upon  the  deck.  Many 
families  were  supplied  with  crockery;  and  plates,  bowls,  and  tea- 
pots from  the  Alabama  can  be  found  in  Cohasset  to-day.  The 
ladies  secured  some  of  the  shawls,  but  on  wearing  them  some 
mischievous  boy  was  apt  to  cry  out:  "Alabama!"  and  their  popu- 
larity as  an  outside  wrap  suddenly  declined. 

The  tongs  used  were  of  several  patterns  and  sizes,  and  varied  in 
length  from  two  to  eight  feet.  They  had  strong,  sharp  jaws,  and 
were  so  constructed  that  their  weight  kept  them  open.  A  special 
line  or  chain  closed  the  jaws  when  desired,  and  they  could  then  be 
drawn  up  with  their  prize.  The  tongs  were  also  used  for  breaking 
apart  portions  of  the  wreck  to  get  at  the  cargo.  The  Cohasset 
men  worked  upon  this  wreck  for  three  summers,  securing  a  very 
valuable  amount  of  merchandise.  The  whole  undertaking  is  one 
of  great  enterprise  and  skill  and  must  have  been  difficult  from 
the  great  depth  of  the  water.  The  locality  was  known  to  fisher- 
men as  the  "Alabama  ground"  for  many  years. 

On  Feb.  5,  1849,  at  4  a.m.,  in  a  driving  northeast  snowstorm, 
the  ship  Jennie  Lind,  loaded  with  cotton,  was  wrecked  on  North 
Scituate  Beach,  abreast  of  the  old  Collier  house.  To  show  the 
great  trials  of  some  of  these  navigators,  the  captain  of  this  ship 
said  that  he  "had  been  in  Boston  bay  for  nine  days  and  had  not  in 
that  time  seen  the  sun,  moon  or  stars."  The  crew  were  safely 
landed  and  the  cotton  unloaded,  after  which,  by  dint  of  great 
exertion  for  seventeen  days  and  the  use  of  oil-casks,  the  vessel  was 
floated  and  saved.  In  all  this  work,  as  well  as  that  on  another 
cotton  ship  named  Dublin,  which  was  also  saved,  Cohasset  men 
took  the  leading  part,  and  the  cotton  was  teamed  to  Cohasset,

mostly  with  oxen,  and  shipped  by  the  newly-opened  South  Shore 
Railroad. 

On  October  3,  1851,  the  bark  Vesta,  Captain  Flynn  (the  ves- 
sel being  only  two  years  old),  loaded  with  coal,  struck  the  back 
of  Gull  Ledge.  Cohasset  men  discharged  the  cargo,  and  she 
was  brought  in  and  beached  on  the  point  now  owned  by  Mr. 
C.  W.  Barron.  John  Bates  of  Cohasset  bought  her,  but  she  was 
later  sold,  and  made  some  long  voyages  under  Captain  Percival, 
on  one  of  which  she  had  John  L.  Pratt,  as  second  mate,  and 
Daniel  Bray  Lincoln,  Nathaniel  W.  Treat,  and  John  Murphy, 
all  of  Cohasset,  as  seamen.  Later  she  sailed  under  a  foreign 
flag,  and  is  said  to  have  been  still  afloat  near  the  end  of  the  cen- 
tury. 

On  April  8,  1852,  the  brig  Mantel  of  Belfast,  Me.,  Captain 
Staples,  was  wrecked  on  East  Hogshead  Ledge,  and  all  hands 
were  lost.  Her  spars  came  ashore  on  Sandy  Beach,  and  the 
bodies  of  the  crew  were  found  inside  Brush  Island.  She  was 
loaded  with  turpentine  and  hides  from  Darien,  Ga. 

On  January  29,  1853,  the  bark  Maryland,  Captain  Davis, 
was  caught  in  a  hurricane,  and  her  crew  could  not  reef  topsails 
quickly  enough  to  prevent  their  being  torn  to  ribbons.  She  came 
alongside  the  light-ship,  then  stationed  at  Minots,  and  tried  to 
anchor.  Failing  in  this,  she  struck  the  north  side  of  Gull  Ledge, 
and  drifted  into  Briggs  Harbor,  where  she  was  beached.  She 
had  an  assorted  cargo  from  Baltimore,  which  was  unloaded  by 
Cohasset  men,  under  Captain  Daniel  Lothrop.  The  cargo  was 
carried  by  lighters  to  the  inner  side  of  White  Head,  whence  it 
was  conveyed  to  Boston  by  packets.  The  bark  was  successfully 
floated  and  repaired. 

On  January  19,  1857,  a  very  destructive  storm  wrecked  two 
fine  vessels  upon  our  shore  in  one  day.  The  first  was  the  bark 
New  Empire  (briefly  referred  to  in  "Narrative  History  of  Cohasset," 
p.  473).  She  was  loaded  with  cotton,  and  wrecked  about  300 
feet  from  White  Head.  The  rescue  of  her  crew  is  notable  for 
ingenuity  and  bravery.  The  sea  was  covered  with  broken  and 
treacherous  ice,  of  the  kind  known  as  "porridge,"  making  it 
impracticable  to  use  a  boat  and  unsafe  to  attempt  to  walk  upon 
it.     A  Cohasset  man,  named  Peter  Falcon,  walked  to  the  wreck 


596  History  of  Cohasset. 

by  stepping  upon  two  oblong  rubber  life-preservers,  which  he 
moved  forward  alternately  as  he  proceeded  over  the  broken  ice. 
In  this  way  he  brought  a  sounding  line  to  the  shore,  by  means 
of  which  finally  a  hawser  was  carried  across.  A  skiff  was  then 
pulled  over  the  ice,  and  later  a  dory.  Twelve  men  from  the 
shore  were  thus  drawn  out  to  the  wreck  to  haul  the  lines  and 
render  other  assistance.  The  crew  were  all  saved,  including  one 
with  a  broken  leg  and  another  with  a  dislocated  shoulder.  They 
were  all  taken  to  the  house  of  John  J.  Lothrop,  at  Sandy  Cove*. 
As  the  snow  was  very  deep  and  the  roads  impassible,  our  life- 
savers  next  turned  their  attention  to  rescuing  Dr.  Foster,  who 
was  trying  to  reach  the  injured  men,  but  became  buried  in  a 
snowdrift.  They  dug  out  his  horse,  and  unhitching  him  from 
the  shafts,  drew  the  sleigh  themselves  for  the  last  half  mile. 

For  the  courageous  work  in  rescuing  the  crew  of  the  New 
Empire  the  Massachusetts  Humane  Society  gave  Peter  Falcon  a 
silver  medal  and  $10,  and  a  bronze  medal  to  each  of  the  following: 
Isaac  Pratt,  Henry  Collier,  Nathaniel  W.  Treat,  Alexander  Litch- 
field, M.  B.  Stetson,  Loring  Bates,  and  L.  Jenkins.  The  New 
Empire  was  saved  and  re-fitted. 

It  would  seem  that  our  Cohasset  life-savers  might  well  have 
been  exhausted  after  this  severe  experience,  but  new  work 
awaited  them,  for  the  same  evening  the  ship  California  had 
struck  on  Black  Ledge  and  had  pounded  heavily  during  the 
night.  Three  men  on  board  had  taken  refuge  on  the  ledge, 
which  is  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  shore.  The  California  had 
parted  chains  and  drifted  from  Gloucester,  where  she  was  dis- 
charging cargo,  and  the  men  on  board  were  not  the  crew,  but 
ship-keepers.  As  soon  as  morning  light  came  to  their  aid,  our 
Cohasset  men  must  hurry  to  Kimball's  point  to  save  the  three 
men  who  were  in  peril.  The  same  "porridge"  confronted  them 
here,  and  they  came  hastily,  even  without  lines  to  assist  them. 
Quickly  seizing  a  dory  and  being  unable  to  walk  on  the  field  ice, 
a  number  of  men,  by  sprawling  on  their  hands  and  knees,  were 

*  In  this  house  had  been  received  in  1849  tne  survivors  of  the  ill-fated  ship 
St.  John.  Later  the  house  was  for  many  years  kept  as  a  boarding-house  and 
known  as  the  "  Lothrop  House  "  or  as  "  Mrs.  Winslow's  Cottage."  Like  the 
Warren  Bates  house,  it  furnished  the  first  introduction  to  Cohasset  for  many  of 
our  present  summer  residents.

able  to  push  and  pull  the  dory  to  the  ledge.  They  then  assisted 
the  three  men  into  the  boat  and  attempted  to  return  to  the  shore 
in  the  same  manner.  When  hardly  more  than  100  feet  from  the 
ledge,  the  dory  settled  through  the  ice  so  badly  that  the  men 
could  no  longer  move  her. 

In  the  meantime  a  skiff,  manned  by  Nathaniel  W.  Treat, 
Thomas  Tower,  and  a  Mr.  Leighton  had  been  pushed  out  from 
Kimball's  Point  to  within  50  feet  of  the  dory,  and  had  passed  a 
line  to  the  latter.  The  skiff  formed  a  foothold  from  which  to 
pull  upon  the  dory.  While  this  was  in  progress,  men  on  the  shore 
had  laid  hold  of  a  pile  of  spruce  floor  boards  which  had  come 
ashore  from  the  deck-load  of  some  schooner,  and  by  stretching 
these  upon  the  ice,  men  were  able  to  walk  out  upon  them,  carry- 
ing the  rope  of  the  fire-engine  which  had  been  hastily  brought 
from  the  village.  Time  had  been  precious,  for  the  field  ice  was 
already  moving  down  the  shore  with  the  outgoing  tide,  but  two 
hundred  willing  hands  on  the  beach  soon  drew  both  boats  ashore 
with  their  living  freight.  The  frost-bitten  men  were  cared  for 
at  the  house  of  Mr.  Peter  C.  Kimball.  That  Cohasset  men 
could  save  every  life  exposed  in  the  wrecks  of  these  two  vessels, 
in  zero  weather,  testifies  to  their  pluck  and  bravery.  Dr.  Foster's 
sleigh  was  again  pulled  by  men  to  the  relief  of  these  frost  bitten 
seamen :  this  time  being  drawn  over  the  ice,  across  Little  Harbor. 
The  cold  was  so  extreme  at  this  time  that  no  salt  water  was 
visible  from  the  highest  rocks,  and  the  lightship  anchored  two 
miles  or  more  to  the  northeast  of  Minots  Ledge  was  completely 
surrounded  with  ice. 

For  services  in  saving  men  on  the  California  the  Massachusetts 
Humane  Society  gave  "certificates"  to  Peter  C.  Kimball  and 
Patrick  Sullivan,  and  $2  each  to  the  following:  Aaron  Pratt, 
Manuel  Antoine,  Loring  Bates,  Nathaniel  W.  Treat,  Charles 
Studley,  Warren  Bates,  Cornelius  Lincoln,  Frederick  Tower, 
Frank  Antoine,  Samuel  Groce,  Joseph  Chadbourn,  Frederick 
Torrey,  David  Stoddard,  Lincoln  Jenkins,  James  Edwards, 
James  Pettee,  William  Doane,  and  John  Powers. 

These  grim  perils  were  not  without  their  pleasantries,  for  as 
soon  as  the  lives  were  saved,  some  attention  must  be  paid  to  the 
cargo.    As  this  ship  was  loaded  with  gin  and  sugar  it  was  con- 


598  History  of  Cohasset. 

sidered  by  some  to  be  very  attractive.  Peter  Falcon,  the  sure- 
footed, was  returning  from  the  ledge  with  a  gallon  bottle  of  gin 
under  his  arm,  when  one  foot  slumped  through  the  ice  and  crack 
went  his  bottle,  saving  only  a  pint  in  the  bottom.  How  to  get 
this  pint  safely  ashore  was  the  problem  —  one  which  he  solved 
by  promptly  drinking  it.  Some  men  who  did  not  break  their 
bottles  didn't  get  home  at  all  that  night.  The  next  day  the  town 
turned  out  to  save  the  sugar,  and  brought  it  home  in  tubs,  kegs, 
bags,  pillow  cases,  and  even  stocking  legs.  They  had  enough  to 
sweeten  them  for  a  long  time. 

On  April  15,  1857,  the  bark  Nueces,  from  Galveston,  for 
Boston,  with  a  cargo  of  cotton,  hides,  and  pecan  nuts,  came  into 
the  bay  during  a  snowstorm,  and  made  the  Minot  Ledge  light- 
ship. The  captain,  supposing  it  to  be  Thatcher's  Island  lights, 
shaped  his  course  accordingly  for  Boston  Light,  which  course 
carried  him  to  the  south  of  Black  Rocks.  Seeing  his  mistake,  he 
came  to  anchor,  but  the  anchor  not  holding,  he  cut  away  his 
masts  and  the  bark  slowly  kedged  in  upon  the  shore  about 
the  center  of  Green  Hill.  The  crew,  with  three  lady  passengers, 
were  landed  safely  with  the  help  of  the  townspeople.  Part  of  the 
cargo  was  saved  by  rolling  it  over  Green  Hill,  and  the  remainder 
was  loaded  upon  lighters.  Capt.  Joseph  H.  Smith  of  Cohasset 
discharged  the  cargo  by  contract.  After  about  two  weeks  the  bark 
was  floated  with  the  aid  of  the  steamer  R.  B.  Forbes,  and  taken  to 
Boston  for  repairs.  It  was  in  rescuing  this  crew  that  Captain 
Frederick  Tower  of  Cohasset  nearly  lost  his  life.  Fastening  a 
rope  about  his  waist  he  plunged  into  the  surf  and  carried  it  to 
the  bark,  but  in  doing  so,  narrowly  escaped  being  crushed 
between  the  vessel's  side  and  a  huge  boulder.  This  boulder 
remains  by  Green  Hill  now  and  is  said  to  have  been  pushed  to 
its  present  position  by  the  vessel.  A  hawser  was  then  drawn 
across  and  made  fast  at  the  top  of  Green  Hill.  Passengers  and 
crew  were  then  saved  by  lashing  each  into  an  arm-chair,  and 
drawing  it  along  the  hawser  to  the  top  of  the  hill. 

On  Jan.  6,  1858  the  ship  Serampur  struck  a  ledge  off  Pleasanf 
Beach.  The  crew  were  saved  in  a  lifeboat.  The  cargo  was  an 
assorted  one  from  New  Orleans,  consisting  of  flour,  whiskey,  syrup, 
hides,  and  lead.    The  flour  came  handy  for  many  of  the  towns- 


Wrecks,  Wrecking  and  Life  Saving  in  Cohasset.     599 

people,  especially  as  the  underwriters  valued  it  at  only  $4  a 
barrel,  although  flour  was  then  selling  for  $8.  A  citizen  could 
buy  a  barrel  he  had  saved  by  payment  of  $2.  There  are  rumors 
of  barrels  of  whiskey  being  carefully  buried  in  the  beaches  for 
future  use.  The  eagle  which  for  many  years  has  ornamented 
the  front  of  Independence  fire-engine  house  came  from  the  stern 
of  the  Serampur. 

On  January  28,  1859,  the  ship  Roebuck,  commanded  by  Cap- 
tain Soule  of  Hingham,  loaded  with  cotton  from  New  Orleans 
was  wrecked  on  the  "West  Willies."  She  lay  there  a  week,  and 
while  being  unloaded,  a  storm  came  and  broke  her  to  pieces. 
Many  bales  of  her  cotton  were  chewed  up  as  she  ground 
on  the  ledges,  so  that  all  the  neighboring  shores  were  covered 
with  white  cotton,  washed  up  like  seaweed.  Many  sunken  bales 
were  raised  by  grapples,  and  about  100  bales  came  ashore  whole. 
All  (even  the  loose  cotton)  was  disposed  of  at  good  salvage  (40 
per  cent). 

On  March  3,  1862,  the  brig  Lincoln  of  Chelsea  (only  two  years 
old)  struck  alongside  the  lighthouse  at  4  a.m.,  and  split  in  two. 
She  was  loaded  with  240  tons  of  coal  from  Hoboken.  Cohasset 
men  recovered  the  coal  from  the  sea  bottom.  As  she  split  open 
her  American  ensign  floated  out  upon  the  water.  One  of  the 
wrecking  party  tried  to  grasp  it,  but  remarked  that  it  would  be 
recovered  later.  Singularly,  after  four  weeks  it  was  found  in 
Sandy  Cove.  On  the  same  night  the  brig  Marcia,  also  coal- 
laden,  went  ashore  back  of  the  Glades  House,  and  another  brig 
was  wrecked  at  Cedar  Point,  Scituate.  All  three  of  these  ves- 
sels were  consigned  to  one  firm,  and  all  were  wrecked  within  a 
space  of  three  hours. 

On  January  16,  1865,  the  brig  Dawn  of  Day,  of  St.  John,  N.  B., 
from  Turk's  Island,  loaded  with  salt,  struck  first  on  Shepard's 
Ledge,  and  later  on  the  big  rock  in  the  middle  of  Sandy  Cove, 
and  rapidly  went  to  pieces,  but  the  crew  were  saved. 

In  1868  the  steamer  Tripoli,  in  a  thick  fog,  ran  upon  the  "  East 
Willies,"  and  her  bow  became  wedged  in  the  rocks.  With  the 
rising  tide  and  with  assistance  of  tugs  she  backed  off  and 
proceeded. 

On  March  2,  1868,  the  schooner  Nathaniel  G.  Clark,  loaded 


600  History  of  Cohasset. 

with  cotton,  hides,  and  rosin,  from  Charleston,  S.  C,  anchored 
outside  the  light  in  a  northeast  gale  and  snowstorm,  and  slipping 
her  anchors,  drifted  inside  the  "West  Willies,"  and  later  inside  the 
Hazards,  and  struck  on  the  rocks.  She  had  a  crew  of  five  men 
and  one  passenger,  a  young  boy.  Singularly,  the  boy  was  the 
only  one  saved  from  the  wreck.  When  the  vessel  struck,  the 
boy,  following  the  example  of  the  crew,  climbed  into  the  rigging. 
Looking  down,  he  saw  an  old  sailor  taking  refuge  in  the  bow, 
under  the  slight  shelter  known  to  mariners  as  the  "top  gallant 
forecastle."  The  boy  reasoned  that  this  aged  man  was  experi- 
enced, and  knew  the  safest  place,  so  he  climbed  down  and  joined 
him.  As  the  ship  pounded  on  the  rocks  the  sailors  in  the  rigging 
were  "slatted"  off  and  drowned,  while  those  in  the  bow  were  safe. 
The  old  man  ventured  out  too  soon,  however,  and  met  his  death 
as  a  mighty  wave  boarded  the  vessel.  The  boy  remained  in  his 
place  of  safety  until  rescued.     The  vessel  was  a  total  loss. 

On  March  20,  1873,  the  bark  Josephine,  loaded  with  hides 
and  wool,  was  wrecked  on  North  Scituate  Beach.  The  crew 
were  saved,  but  the  vessel  was  a  total  loss. 

On  March  12,  1878,  the  schooner  Volante  (a  packet  running 
between  Eastport  and  Boston),  loaded  with  herring  and  turnips, 
having  anchored  under  the  lee  of  Black  Ledge,  parted  chains, 
and  in  a  fresh  north  wind  and  snowstorm  struck  the  rocks  on 
Beach  Island,  about  200  feet  west  of  the  present  breakwater. 
Her  crew  ran  out  on  the  bowsprit,  jumped  ashore,  and  took 
refuge  in  the  cottage  of  Mr.  Cutter.  This  happened  at  about 
the  time  of  the  celebrated  "walking  match,"  in  the  Town  Hall 
and  our  Cohasset  men,  turning  from  one  excitement  to  another, 
came  down  to  unload  the  cargo.  Those  first  arriving  carried 
their  goods  to  a  convenient  place  on  Beach  Island  and  returned 
to  the  vessel  for  more,  while  another  gang  mysteriously  loaded 
the  booty  upon  a  wagon  and  took  it  to  Cohasset.  The  second 
gang  had  the  easier  time,  and  in  the  hurry  and  bustle  were  not 
discovered  for  some  time. 

On  August  29,  1886,  the  bark  Joseph  A.  Ropes,  with  a  valuable 
cargo  from  Zanzibar,  Africa,  went  ashore  in  a  thick  fog  on  a  bar 
about  half  a  mile  west  of  the  Sea  Ledges,  but  was  only  slightly 
damaged  and  was  pulled  off  in  a  day  or  two  and  proceeded  to 


Wrecks,  Wrecking  and  Life  Saving  in  Cohasset.    60 1 

Boston.  This  vessel  was  totally  wrecked  five  years  later  on  the 
shore  of  Madagascar. 

I  am  indebted  for  the  materials  of  almost  all  the  foregoing 
account  to  Mr.  Nathaniel  W.  Treat.  Further  information  and 
suggestions  have  been  obtained  of  Mr.  Caleb  F.  Nichols,  Mr. 
William  E.  Crocker,  Mr.  Henry  H.  Sylvester,  Mr.  George  R. 
Howe,  and  Miss  Joanna  N.  Collier. 

The  violent  storm  of  November  25  to  28,  1888,  appears  to 
have  brought  disaster  along  our  shore  to  a  greater  number  of 
vessels,  whose  names  can  be  identified,  than  any  other  of  which 
we  have  record.  Between  Scituate  harbor  and  Boston,  no  less 
than  fifteen  vessels  were  wrecked.  The  storm  was  of  unusual 
violence  and  duration,  and  the  wind  reached  a  velocity  of  60 
miles  an  hour.  The  wrecks  at  Scituate  were  the  schooner 
Edward  H.  Norton,  with  loss  of  fifteen  lives,  at  the  First  Cliff, 
and  the  schooner  J.  and  J.  Locke,  at  the  Sand  Hills.  At  Cohasset 
the  fishing  schooner  Stella  Lee  of  Portland,  Maine,  80  tons  burden, 
came  ashore  at  Bassing  Beach,  having  been  blown  out  of 
Gloucester  Harbor  by  the  violence  of  the  wind.  She  was  not 
injured  and  was  floated  in  safety. 

The  schooner  Sasanoa,  of  and  for  Bath,  in  ballast,  also  parted 
her  chains  in  Gloucester  Harbor;  her  crew  escaped  to  another 
vessel,  and  she  came  ashore  at  Pleasant  Beach,  and  was  landed 
high  and  dry.  She  was  of  79  tons,  built  in  187 1,  and  remained 
on  the  beach  for  several  years  as  a  picturesque  landmark  until 
unfortunately  set  on  fire  and  burned.  The  Sasanoa  had  a  num- 
ber of  times  brought  coal  to  Cohasset. 

The  most  melancholy  disaster  in  our  vicinity  was  that  of  the 
steam  collier  Allentown,  which  undoubtedly  foundered  off  Cohasset 
with  all  on  board.  Large  quantities  of  her  wreckage  came  ashore 
on  all  our  beaches.  The  Allentown  was  built  in  Philadelphia,  in 
1873.  She  was  250  feet  long,  and  had  capacity  for  1650  tons  of 
coal.  She  was  owned  by  the  Philadelphia  and  Reading  Rail- 
road, and  with  her  were  lost  eighteen  lives. 

Although  only  the  three  wrecks  just  named  occurred  on  the 
Cohasset  shore,  six  vessels  met  disaster  on  the  shore  of  Hull. 
Their  names  are  as  follows :  Schooner  H.  C.  Higginson,  on  rocks 
below  Atlantic  House;  schooner  Mattie  E.  Eaton,  on  beach  a  short 


602  History  of  Cohasset. 

distance  north  of  the  last;  the  abandoned  British  brigantine 
Alice,  at  Kenberna,  and  schooners  Cox  and  Green,  Gertrude  Abbott, 
and  Bertha  F.  Walker,  off  Hull,  near  Toddy  Rocks.  These  six 
wrecks  made  strenuous  work  for  the  men  of  the  Hull  and  North 
Scituate  Life-saving  Stations,  and  some  Cohasset  men  added  their 
services.  (See  "Narrative  History  of  Cohasset,"  p.  482.)  Twenty- 
eight  lives  were  rescued  from  these  wrecks  in  Hull. 

Besides  the  wrecks  already  mentioned,  two  vessels  were  driven 
ashore  in  Quincy,  one  at  Spectacle  Island,  and  one  at  Winthrop, 
by  this  storm,  making,  as  stated,  fifteen  vessels  between  Scituate 
and  Boston.  It  is  a  curious  coincidence  that  the  great  gale  of 
1898  occurred  almost  precisely  ten  years  later  than  the  one  just 
described.  On  March  9,  1890,  the  schooner  Lucy  D.  Windsor  of 
Duxbury  was  capsized  and  sunk  by  a  squall  off  Chest  Ledge. 
The  crew  of  six  were  found  hanging  to  the  bottoms  of  dories,  and 
were  saved  by  D.  P.  Sylvester  and  his  son,  Irving.  For  this  act 
they  received  silver  medals  from  the  Mass.  Humane  Society. 

For  an  account  of  the  wrecks  in  the  1898  gale  see  chapter  in 
this  volume,  page  604. 

On  Sunday  afternoon,  September  9,  1900,  the  steamer  John 
Endicott,  returning  from  Plymouth,  struck  a  rock  in  the  Gangway 
Passage  inside  Minots  Light,  and  was  beached  on  the  bar  con- 
necting Gull  and  Shepard's  ledges.  No  lives  were  lost.  Per- 
sistent attempts  were  made  by  wreckers  to  save  the  vessel,  and 
she  was  for  a  time  beached  on  the  flats  near  White  Head.  Later 
she  was  sunk  in  80  feet  of  water  outside  Boston  Light  while  being 
towed  to  Boston.  A  further  attempt  to  raise  her  was  frustrated 
by  a  storm,  and  portions  of  the  boat  came  ashore  in  Cohasset  at 
Cuba  Dam.  She  was  an  old  boat,  built  in  1863,  and  originally 
named  the  Stamford. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  the  John  Endicott  constitutes  the  only 
wreck  off  Cohasset  in  the  past  ten  years.  This  immunity  is,  no 
doubt  due  to  the  great  increase  in  steam  navigation  and  to  the 
establishment  of  Boston  Lightship,  in  1894.  The  building  of 
Minots  light  was  a  considerable  aid  to  navigation,  but  it  directed 
the  course  of  vessels  too  near  the  dangerous  Cohasset  rocks,  and 
ships  passing  around  Minots  in  safety  might  still  be  driven  upon 
the  ledges  by  a  violent  "  Northeaster."    Boston  Lightship,  in  the

middle  of  the  bay,  with  plenty  of  deep  water  all  around,  makes 
a  far  safer  mark  to  steer  for,  and  its  powerful  fog  whistle  is  a 
much  better  signal  in  thick  weather  than  the  fog  bell  of  the  light- 
house. The  new  entrance  to  Boston  Harbor,  with  its  powerful 
first-order  lighthouse  at  the  Graves,  will  altogether  change  the 
course  of  the  larger  vessels  as  they  pass  Cohasset.  All  this  makes 
for  safety,  and  it  may  be,  let  us  hope,  that  the  painful  series  of 
wrecks  on  our  shore  will  never  be  repeated. 

Enough  has  been  recited  to  show  the  cruel  nature  of  our  rocks 
and  ledges  in  time  of  storm,  and  also  to  prove  the  sturdy  quality 
of  our  Cohasset  men.  Born  and  reared  by  the  sea,  they  know 
her  moods  and  dare  to  breast  her  dangers.  The  fact  that  the 
vessel  was  saved  and  repaired  in  eleven  out  of  twenty-six  wrecks 
near  Cohasset  enumerated  in  this  chapter,  testifies  to  the  aid 
rendered  from  the  shore.  Would  that  every  "rock-bound  coast" 
had  as  brave  and  noble  a  band  of  life-savers! 


THE  GREAT  GALE  OF  NOVEMBER  27,   1898, 
IN  COHASSET. 

By  OLIVER  H.  HOWE. 

The  great  storm  of  November  27,  1898,  was  by  far  the  most 
destructive  one  that  has  visited  this  coast  within  the  memory  of 
man.  A  vast  amount  of  damage  was  done  along  the  New  England 
coast  and  the  steamer  Portland  was  lost  with  all  on  board. 

The  only  storm  to  be  compared  with  it  was  the  famous  "Light- 
house Gale"  of  185 1.  A  comparison  of  the  height  of  tide  in  the 
two  storms  may  be  of  interest.  In  the  "old  paint  shop"  on  the 
wharf  near  Tower's  store  there  is  an  old  mark  with  the  date  1851 
against  it,  showing  the  height  of  the  tide  in  that  great  storm. 
Mr.  Edwin  Souther  has  made  a  mark  in  the  same  building  for 
this  storm  28f  inches  above  the  floor  and  13  inches  higher  than 
the  mark  of  185 1.  A  mark  of  185 1  in  the  old  "salt- house" 
on  the  other  side  of  the  Cove  has  been  leveled  across  and  just 
reaches  the  sill  of  the  fire-department  hose-house  at  the  head  of  the 
Cove.  The  water  in  the  1898  storm  rose  still  higher  and  put  out 
the  fire  in  a  stove  in  the  hose-house,  thus  corroborating  the  marks 
previously  mentioned.* 

To  make  a  permanent  record  of  the  height  of  the  tide  in  the 
1898  storm,  the  writer  had  levels  taken  by  Mr.  Daniel  N.  Tower, 
surveyor,  and  copper  bolts  inserted  in  the  rock  in  three  different 
places.  The  levels  were  taken  from  a  mark  in  the  boat-building 
shop  of  Arthur  O.  Higgins  on  Margin  Street  and  from  a  mark  made 
by  the  writer  on  the  "old  sail  loft"  on  the  afternoon  of  the  storm. 
The  large  doors  of  Mr.  Higgins'  shop  had  been  broken  in  by  the 
sea,  and  the  level  of  the  water  was  accurately  recorded  by  the  fact 

*  Careful  surveys  and  comparisons  show  that  the  coast  of  Massachusetts  is 
subsiding  at  the  rate  of  about  one  foot  in  a  century.  As  47  years  intervened 
between  these  two  storms,  the  difference  of  13  inches  may  be,  in  part,  accounted 
for.  Making  proper  deduction  for  subsidence,  the  tide  in  the  1898  gale  would 
be  seven  and  three  eighths  inches  higher  than  in  its  predecessor.  For  interesting 
proofs  of  subsidence  at  many  points  along  the  shore,  see  Mass.  Report  of  the 
Committee  on  Charles  River  Dam  (1903)  pp.  529-572.

that  a  quantity  of  varnish  floated  on  the  water  in  the  shop  and 
left  its  mark  everywhere.  The  copper  bolts  were  inserted  in  the 
following  places:  1.  In  a  ledge  on  Border  Street  near  the  "Village 
Guildhall"  and  nearly  opposite  the  fire-hose  houses;  2.  On 
Border  Street  a  short  distance  beyond  the  house  of  James  Brennock ; 
3.  In  the  vertical  escarpment  of  the  rock  of  "  Government  Island" 
next  the  "Gulf  Stream."  The  latter  locality  is  within  the  tide 
gate,  but  the  level  mentioned  is  intended  to  represent  the  level  of 
the  tide  in  Cohasset  harbor. 

On  account  of  the  development  of  our  shore,  there  was  in  1898 
much  more  property  to  be  injured.  The  two  causes  of  injury  were 
the  terrible  gale  and  the  very  high  tide.  The  force  of  the  wind  was 
shown  by  the  great  number  of  trees  prostrated.  All  the  woodland, 
even  that  situated  several  miles  from  the  shore,  suffered  severely. 
Many  pieces  of  pine  woodland  had  half  the  trees  uprooted.  A 
few  trees  had  their  trunks  snapped  off  midway.  The  sawmills 
and  some  portable  mills  in  Norwell  were  kept  very  busy  during 
the  winter  and  spring  in  disposing  of  fallen  trees  and  were  then 
unable  to  work  them  all  up.  The  uprooting  of  trees  was  facili- 
tated by  the  facts  that  there  was  no  frost  in  the  ground  at  the 
time  and  that  the  foliage  of  the  pines  was  loaded  with  snow. 

Another  evidence  of  the  extreme  force  of  the  wind  was  the  fact 
that  many  weather  vanes  were  carried  away  or  broken.  In  some 
cases  the  iron  rod  supporting  the  vane  was  bent  at  an  angle  by  the 
wind.     Maximum  velocity  of  wind  in  Boston,  72  miles  an  hour. 

The  streets  of  the  town  were  all  impassable  because  of  snow  and 
of  branches  of  trees  and  whole  trees  blown  done  across  them  to 
an  extent  never  before  seen  by  the  writer.  The  electric-light  poles 
and  wires  were  sadly  disarranged.  Many  poles  were  prostrated 
and  the  wires  were  in  many  instances  hanging  low  or  trailing  on 
the  ground.  The  snow  had  frozen  on  the  wires,  making  them 
two  or  three  inches  in  diameter,  and  their  great  weight  when  thus 
encumbered  led  to  a  large  share  of  their  disaster. 

A  very  noticeable  feature  of  the  storm  was  its  sudden  onset  and 
short  duration.  The  afternoon  of  the  26th  (Saturday)  was 
cloudy  and  somewhat  chilly,  but  not  otherwise  unpleasant.  At 
6  p.m.  the  writer  rode  a  bicycle  from  Gannett's  Corner  to  Cohasset 
and  was  not  troubled  by  wind  or  any  other  circumstance.     Later 


606  History  of  Cohasset. 

in  the  evening  it  began  to  snow.  At  10  p.m.  two  young  men  rode 
their  bicycles  from  Warren  Bates'  boarding  house  beyond  Steep 
Rocks  on  Jerusalem  Road  to  their  home  by  Cohasset  Common. 
They  said  the  wind  was  becoming  severe  and  there  were  about  two 
inches  of  slush  on  the  ground,  but  they  were  able  to  ride  their 
wheels.  Between  then  and  midnight  the  storm  broke  out  in  all 
its  fury,  and  houses  in  the  village  were  shaken  and  rocked  to  an 
unusual  degree.  High  tide  occurred  at  10.40  a.m.  and  the  main 
violence  and  damage  of  the  storm  took  place  before  noon  on 
Sunday.  It  will  be  seen  that  the  main  fury  of  the  storm  was 
confined  to  a  little  more  than  twelve  hours  —  a  marked  contrast 
to  its  predecessor,  the  Lighthouse  storm,  which  gathered  its 
fury  during  three  days  of  violent  east  wind.  In  our  1898  storm 
it  was  feared  by  many  that  the  night  tide  would  rise  still  higher 
and  greatly  increase  the  damage,  but  such  did  not  prove  to  be  the 
case.  The  1898  storm  differed  from  its  predecessor  in  not  occur- 
ring at  high-course  tides.  The  high  level  to  which  the  water  rose 
was  probably  due  to  the  force  of  the  east  wind  in  driving  the  water 
in.  The  barometer  in  the  1898  gale  was  extremely  low,  28.7. 
The  greatest  damage  to  houses  along  the  shore  occurred  at  the  Sand 
Hills  in  Scituate,  at  Nantasket  Beach  and  the  vicinity  of  Gun 
Rock,  and  at  North  Scituate  Beach.  Cohasset  summer  cottages 
were  too  well  founded  to  receive  much  damage.  The  injury 
to  beaches  and  shore  roads  in  Cohasset  was  considerable,  and  a 
somewhat  systematic  account  of  the  damage  done  on  the  Cohasset 
shore  may  be  of  interest. 

Beginning  near  the  easterly  part  of  our  shore,  the  most  perma- 
nent damage  was  done  to  Bassing  Beach.  For  many  years  past 
this  beach  has  been  used  by  a  number  of  Cohasset  men  for  the 
purpose  of  bleaching  and  drying  Irish  moss.  For  the  men  thus 
engaged,  mossing  has  furnished  a  continuous  occupation  for  the 
summer.  The  beach  before  the  storm  had  upon  it  twenty-two 
small  buildings,  most  of  them  being  used  for  the  storing  of  moss, 
but  several  served  for  temporary  dwellings  of  the  mossers  and  two 
were  used  as  gunning  shanties.  The  storm  moved  or  demolished 
all  these  buildings  but  one,  and  lowered  the  beach  a  good  deal, 
making  it  less  suitable  for  mossing  purposes.  The  buildings  and 
their  debris  were  stranded  along  the  southerly  side  of  Bailey's

Creek,  one  or  two  being  carried  nearly  to  Border  Street.  Fortu- 
nately all  the  mossers  but  two  had  sold  their  moss  earlier  in  the 
fall,  so  most  of  the  buildings  were  empty.  Two  men,  Cornelius 
Murphy  and  Thomas  Dunn,  were  staying  at  their  shanties  on  the 
beach.  As  the  tide  rose  and  surrounded  the  buildings,  each  took 
refuge  upon  the  roof  and  was  carried  some  distance  in  that  manner. 
One  jumped  into  a  boat  which  was  drifting  by  and  thus  reached 
the  shore.  The  other  leaped  upon  a  rock  in  midstream  and  was 
rescued  by  a  man  from  the  shore  in  a  boat.  No  loss  of  life  occurred 
in  Cohasset  on  account  of  this  storm  and  no  bodies  floated  ashore. 
In  Scituate,  at  the  Sand  Hills,  a  woman  was  drowned  while 
attempting  to  escape  from  a  cottage,  and  four  young  men  camping 
upon  an  island  in  North  River  were  drowned.  At  the  culvert  on 
Border  Street  beyond  Government  Island  the  railings  on  both  sides 
of  the  street  were  carried  away  by  floating  debris,  and  the  water 
was  about  six  feet  deep  over  the  road.  The  railings  between  Gulf 
bridge  and  Tower's  wharf  were  also  carried  away.  Tower 
Brothers'  lumber  wharf  suffered  great  damage,  the  lumber  stored  on 
their  various  wharves  being  floated  off,  strewn  upon  Border  Street, 
lodged  at  different  places  about  Cohasset  harbor,  and  some  of  it 
carried  under  the  Gulf  bridge  and  stranded  at  different  points  up 
Gulf  River;  some  of  these  points  being  quite  distant. 

All  of  Border  St.  west  of  Gulf  bridge  was  under  water  and  was 
made  impassable  for  horses  by  being  thickly  strewn  with  lumber, 
fence  posts,  and  other  debris,  which  was  in  places  piled  three  feet 
high.  Several  boats,  including  one  sail-boat,  were  left  in  the  middle 
of  the  road.  The  level  of  the  water  against  Tower's  building, 
known  as  the  "old  sail  loft,"  was  33%  inches  above  the  street. 
The  high-water  line  on  this  and  other  buildings  is  beautifully 
shown  on  the  accompanying  photograph  which  was  taken  from  a 
point  looking  east.  The  buildings,  beginning  at  the  left  hand,  are : 
the  old  sail  loft,  Tower  Brothers'  store,  Tower  Brothers'  coal  shed. 
Beyond  the  latter  is  seen  the  wreck  of  the  schooner  Daylight,  to  be 
referred  to  later.  The  foundations  of  the  old  sail  loft  were  laid  in 
the  form  of  a  mainsail,  so  that  sails  of  that  shape  could  be  con- 
veniently laid  out  upon  the  floor. 

The  driveways  and  open  spaces  on  the  wharves  were  in  similar 
condition  to  the  street,  and  the  buildings  and  wharves  were  some- 


608  History  of  Cohasset. 

what  damaged.  The  greater  part  of  Snow  Place  was  under  water. 
Also  South  Main  St.  near  the  Catholic  Church,  the  water  over  the 
road  in  the  latter  locality  being  too  deep  for  high  rubber  boots. 
The  well  of  Capt.  Henry  Collier  became  salt  and  was  unfit  for  use 
for  a  number  of  weeks.  Part  of  Summer  St.  between  Snow  Place 
and  the  Cove  was  under  water.  The  triangular  common  at  the 
Cove  was  all  under  water,  as  well  as  all  the  streets  bordering  the 
Cove;  all  of  Margin  St.  except  the  hill  near  its  beginning;,  all  of 
Stockbridge  St.  except  the  hill  near  its  further  end  and  all  the 
easterly  part  of  Atlantic  Ave.  In  Tilden's  blacksmith  shop  the 
water  was  16  inches  deep  over  the  floor.  It  was  up  to  the  upper 
surfaces  of  the  window  sills  of  the  small  house  at  the  corner  of 
Stockbridge  and  Margin  Sts.,  level  with  the  sills  of  Walter  Spear's 
house  on  Stockbridge  St.  At  the  head  of  the  Cove  the  water 
after  rising  to  the  level  of  the  road  fell  in  a  cascade  into  the 
meadow  beyond,  destroying  sidewalk,  retaining  wall,  and  adjacent 
platforms. 

The  piling  supporting  Caleb  F.  Nichols'  store  was  somewhat 
damaged  and  the  water  rose  to  the  window  sills  of  the  building. 
Mr.  Nichols'  stock  of  groceries  was  not  injured  at  all,  owing  to  his 
prudent  custom  of  keeping  all  goods  above  the  level  of  the  counter. 
At  high  tide  men  were  traversing  the  streets  about  the  Cove  in 
rowboats.  Many  small  yachts  had  been  laid  up  for  the  winter 
about  the  shores  of  the  Cove,  some,  like  the  Zulu  owned  by  Mr. 
William  Hanlon,  being  securely  lodged  in  the  meadow  adjoining 
Margin  St.  All  these  boats,  and  others  anchored  in  the  Cove, 
were  set  adrift  and,  by  colliding  with  each  other  and  with  the  shore, 
suffered  serious  injury  and  were  landed  in  very  strange  places. 
The  Zulu,  a  large  sloop,  was  left  close  against  the  highway  between 
the  hook  and  ladder  house  and  near  Caleb  F.  Nichols'  store.  This 
boat  was  not  injured,  however. 

The  Daylight,  a  schooner  of  10.25  gross  tonnage,  owned  by 
Joseph  Jason  and  used  by  him  in  taking  out  pleasure  parties,  was 
anchored  in  the  Cove,  but  was  beached  by  the  storm  at  the  landing 
just  beyond  Tower  Brothers'  coal  shed.  She  had  some  holes  stove 
in  her  besides  being  otherwise  damaged  and  was  carried  partly  into 
the  highway.  She  was  considered  a  complete  wreck,  was  stripped 
of  her  rigging  and  her  hull  was  sawed  up  for  firewood,  April  7, 


The  Great  Gale  of  November  2j,  1898,  in  Cohasset.   609 

1899.  The  condition  of  her  planking  and  timbers  when  taken 
apart  showed  that  she  went  out  of  service  none  too  soon  for  safety. 
She  was  built  in  Bristol,  R.I.,  in  1877. 

The  water  poured  through  the  depression  between  Atlantic  Ave. 
and  Stockbridge  St.,  making  an  island  of  all  beyond.  It  also 
isolated  the  Lawrence  Barrett  house,  occupied  by  Mr.  C.  W. 
Barron.  In  Mr.  Barron's  stable  it  rose  so  high  about  the  horses' 
legs  that  they  had  to  be  removed  to  a  place  of  safety. 

Beyond  Bourne's  corner  the  water  was  level  with  the  tops  of  the 
stone  walls,  and  beyond  the  next  corner  on  Margin  St.  it  floated  off 
long  sections  of  the  wooden  capping  from  the  walls.  In  James 
Sweeney's  house  at  the  Cove  a  large  stick  of  timber  passed  into  a 
front  basement  window  and  passed  out  through  a  rear  one.  The 
family  were  taken  out  of  the  upper  windows  and  rescued  in  a  boat. 

At  Sandy  Cove  the  water  was  very  high,  reaching  far  inland, 
around  and  between  the  cottages.  It  covered  Atlantic  Ave.  quite 
deeply  in  front  of  Nathaniel  W.  Treat's  house  and  near  Mr.  Fox's 
driveway.  The  seas  began  to  break  over  the  Sandy  Cove  beach  and 
into  the  meadow  as  early  as  7.30  a.m.,  which  was  three  hours  before 
high  tide.  The  water  was  level  with  the  floor  of  Rev.  James  Reed's 
piazza. 

In  the  Mohawk  Valley  it  poured  across  the  highway,  washing 
away  the  sides  of  the  road.  Roads  of  this  kind  are  injured  in  these 
storms  by  a  double  cascade  action,  being  cut  down  on  the  landward 
side  while  the  water  is  rising.  When  the  tide  turns  the  cascade  is 
in  the  other  direction,  cutting  down  the  seaward  side  and  leaving 
a  narrow  strip  of  the  road  intact  in  the  middle.  If  the  cascade 
action  is  sufficiently  prolonged,  this  strip  will  also  disappear,  making 
a  complete  breach  several  feet  in  depth.  On  Beach  St.  the  tin  roof 
of  the  L  of  Mr.  James  H.  Nichols'  house  was  torn  off  and  thrown 
like  a  balloon  across  the  street. 

At  Cunningham's  bridge  the  water  was  over  the  road  on  both 
sides  of  the  bridge  and  covered  quite  an  area  of  the  lawn  of  Mr.  B. 
Preston  Clark  with  driftwood.  One  of  the  most  thrilling  events  of 
the  storm  was  the  wreck  of  the  fishing  schooner  Juniata  at  the 
breakwater,  Beach  Island,  and  the  miraculous  escape  of  her  crew. 
This  vessel  had  left  the  "  Georges"  fishing  grounds  and  was  return- 
ing to  Boston,  hastening  somewhat  to  escape  the  threatening  storm. 


610  History  of  Cohasset. 

She  was  overtaken  by  the  full  violence  of  the  gale  in  the  middle  of 
the  bay  and  one  sail  after  another  torn  to  ribbons.  She  then 
anchored,  but  her  chains  parted  under  the  fearful  violence  of  the 
sea.  Her  captain  then  headed  south,  hoping  to  find  calmer  water  in 
the  lee  of  the  ledges.  The  captain  and  17  men  all  had  to  take 
refuge  in  the  rigging.  The  vessel,  after  striking  on  some  outlying 
rocks  and  later  grazing  Brush  Island,  struck  plump  broadside 
against  the  wooden  breakwater  on  Beach  Island.  The  men  were 
able  to  step  off  upon  the  breakwater,  but  the  captain  was  knocked 
off  the  breakwater  into  the  water  and  was  saved  only  by  his  vigorous 
swimming.  AH  were  saved  and  effecting  an  entrance  into 
Mr.  Nicholas  Sheldon's  cottage  nearby,  made  a  fire  and  got  the 
first  warmth  and  comfort  they  had  had  for  many  hours.  The 
vessel  struck  the  breakwater  at  about  4.30  a.m.,  which  was  the  hour 
of  low  tide.  The  facts  that  she  drew  10  feet  of  water  and  that  she 
landed  on  rocks  which  are  perfectly  bare  at  low  tide  confirm  the 
opinion  of  Cohasset  mariners  that  during  that  night  the  tide  did 
not  ebb  at  all  but  kept  coming  in  higher  and  higher  under  the  force 
of  the  wind.  As  the  tide  rose,  the  seas  lifted  the  Juniata  clean  over 
the  breakwater  and  landed  her  high  up  on  the  beach  and  close  to 
Mr.  Sheldon's  piazza.  The  vessel  was  of  beautiful  model,  only 
six  months  old,  78  tons,  100  ft.  over  all,  23  ft.  beam,  and  10  ft.  hold. 
Her  captain  was  Robert  M.  Corey,  who  owned  one-quarter  of  her. 
A  full  account  of  the  vessel  and  wreck  was  written  by  Rev.  E.  Victor 
Bigelow  and  published  in  the  Boston  Herald  (evening  edition) 
November  28,  1898.  The  writer  is  indebted  to  this  account  for  the 
foregoing  facts.  The  accompanying  photograph  shows  the  wreck 
of  the  Juniata. 

The  Juniata  was  sold  at  public  auction  early  in  December  to  a 
Mr.  Burke  of  Scituate  for  $680.  A  building  mover  was  employed 
to  raise  her  out  of  the  sand  and  move  her  to  the  lower  part  of  fhe 
beach,  after  which,  at  12  noon  on  Feb.  25,  1899,  she  was  success- 
fully launched  into  the  breakwater,  triumphantly  passed  out 
through  the  opening  and,  in  tow  of  a  tug,  was  taken  to  Gloucester 
to  be  repaired  and  refitted. 

The  escape  of  this  vessel  and  crew  is  a  very  marvelous  event. 
Had  the  vessel  struck  one  hundred  feet  to  one  side  or  the  other  • 
from  the  breakwater  she  would  have  encountered  savage  rocks 


The  Great  Gale  of  November  27,  1898,  in  Cohasset.  611 

and  been  dashed  to  pieces.  The  breakwater  was  as  safe  as  a 
wharf,  but  it  suffered  much  damage  itself  and  had  most  of  its 
planking  removed  from  the  portion  where  the  vessel  struck  it. 

The  sea  swept  savagely  across  Sandy  Beach,  washing  away  a 
portion  of  the  highway,  especially  upon  the  back  side,  and  cover- 
ing other  portions  of  the  road  with  three  or  four  feet  of  beach 
pebbles.  The  pranks  played  with  the  bath-houses  are  somewhat 
interesting.  All  the  latter  that  were  fastened  down  were  either 
demolished  beyond  recovery  or  had  their  front  and  back  walls 
completely  smashed  and  were  then  partly  buried  in  beach  stones. 
Those  bath-houses  that  were  not  fastened  down  floated  for  very 
considerable  distances,  often  with  little  or  no  injury.  Many 
of  them  reposed  among  the  shrubbery  along  the  shores  of  Little 
Harbor  or  were  left  insecurely  perched  like  erratic  bowlders  upon 
projecting  ledges  of  the  shore,  while  a  few  reached  the  garden  of 
Mr.  Charles  S.  Bates  near  the  head  of  the  Common,  being  landed 
high  up,  within  a  few  rods  of  North  Main  St. 

Passing  over  the  bluff  occupied  by  the  Kimball  property  and 
down  the  slight  hill  to  the  beach,  we  found  the  beautiful  macadam- 
ized road  and  its  high  retaining  wall  on  the  south  side  reduced  to  a 
state  of  chaos.  The  sea  had  made  wide  breaches  through  it, 
washing  it  out  to  the  depth  of  five  or  six  feet,  and  we  found  only 
irregular  hillocks  of  gravel  and  wastes  of  beach  stones,  impassable 
for  all  except  pedestrians.  The  Massachusetts  Humane  Society's 
boat-house  and  the  old  boat-house  adjoining  it  were  both  canted 
down  from  their  supports.  The  new  barn  and  boat-storage  house  of 
Mr.  Matthew  Luce  was  also  undermined  and  canted.  Mr.  Luce's 
club-house,  which  stands  in  an  exposed  situation  on  the  beach,  was 
uninjured,  probably  owing  to  its  being  raised  up  on  posts,  with 
good  opportunity  for  the  sea  to  sweep  underneath  it.  The  small 
one-story  house  that  had  for  many  years  stood  high  up  on  the  beach 
was  moved  from  its  location,  turned  half-way  round,  and  had 
some  of  its  walls  demolished.  It  was  a  complete  wreck  and  was 
soon  taken  down.   . 

The  house  formerly  occupied  by  the  late  John  Roche,  which 
stood  upon  the  southerly  side  of  Atlantic  Avenue,  was  standing 
during  the  Lighthouse  storm.  It  was  in  this  house  that  Mrs. 
Peter  Kimball  took  refuge  during  that  storm,  and  she  was  removed 


6 12  History  of  Cohasset. 

from  it  in  a  boat,  as  the  water  rose  high  about  it.  Although 
uninjured  in  that  storm  it  was  not  so  fortunate  in  this  one,  as  it 
was  moved  about  fifteen  feet  off  its  foundation  and  turned  partly 
round.  Mr.  Aldrich,  who  was  in  his  cottage  at  the  time,  said  that 
the  Roche  house  was  moved  round  a  number  of  times  and  that  he 
could  one  minute  see  the  front  door  and  the  next  minute  could  not. 
The  water  rose  in  the  house  a  foot  higher  than  the  window-sills 
and  reached  a  point  4  ft.  8  in.  above  the  ground.  An  outbuilding 
measuring  10  ft.  by  14  ft.  and  used  as  a  woodshed  and  hen-house 
was  carried  by  the  water  to  Cat  Dam.  The  Roche  house  was 
torn  down  about  the  middle  of  May,  1899.  Thus  perished  an  old 
landmark  of  the  shore  and  the  former  abode  of  two  very  estimable 
people.  Its  foundation  stones  have  been  gathered  into  a  cairn 
upon  which  nasturtiums  gracefully  climb. 

The  highway  in  the  vicinity  of  the  Roche  house  was  covered  by 
a  bank  of  sand  about  five  feet  deep.  At  Pleasant  Beach  we  saw 
abundant  signs  of  the  storm's  havoc  with  the  shipping,  for  the 
beach  presented  the  appearance  of  a  large  lumber  yard.  Ship 
timbers  of  all  sizes  were  strewn  in  profusion,  most  of  them  being 
of  clean  hard  pine,  showing  that  fine  new  vessels  were  unable 
to  cope  with  the  storm's  fury.  These  big  sticks  were  soon  appro- 
priated by  our  citizens,  and  some  of  them  were  used  to  build  a 
breakwater  at  Pleasant  Beach.  The  volume  of  water  and  wreck- 
age pouring  over  Cat  Dam  broke  down  both  railings  and  damaged 
the  road.  The  causeway  near  S^eep  Rocks  had  the  tide  to  the 
tops  of  the  fences,  and  it  reached  the  level  of  the  sill  of  the  house 
owned  by  Mr.  Edward  Wheelwright,  and  occupied  by  his  coach- 
man, James  Sweeney,  at  the  foot  of  Steep  Rocks. 

Piazzas  of  the  cottages  of  Hon.  H.  H.  Coolidge  and  William 
Faxon,  Jr.,  were  destroyed.  A  chimney  was  blown  over  on  the 
house  of  Matthew  Luce,  and  the  cottage  of  G.  D.  Braman  had  its 
tin  roof  blown  off.  The  stable  of  the  Pitkin  cottage  was  under- 
mined and  canted  down  toward  the  sea.  A  small  stone  building 
on  the  small  valley  beach  near  the  Black  Rock  House  had  its  roof 
partly  detached  by  force  of  wind  and  wave.  The  rear  piazzas  of 
the  Black  Rock  House  were  damaged. 

The  beach  extending  from  Jerusalem  Road  to  Green  Hill 
suffered  a  breach  of  about  75  feet  in  width.     It  was  covered  with 


The  Great  Gale  of  November  27,  1898,  in  Cohasset.  613 

all  kinds  of  wreckage  and  encumbered  with  the  masts,  keel,  and 
several  large  portions  of  the  hull  of  a  coal  barge  that  was  wrecked 
on  Black  Rock.  One  of  the  masts  now  forms  the  lower  section 
of  Mr.  Thomas  W.  Lawson's  flagstaff  at  the  John  Bryant  place. 
This  coal  barge,  after  striking  on  Black  Rock,  careened,  so  that 
the  mast  rested  on  the  island.  The  crew  climbed  to  the  island 
by  following  the  mast  and  were  brought  ashore  by  the  Hull  Life- 
Saving  Crew.  Many  coal  barges  are  said  to  have  foundered 
in  Massachusetts  Bay  during  this  storm,  and  the  masts  of  two 
unknown  schooners  were  found  sticking  up  near  the  entrance  of 
Cohasset  harbor. 

A  great  deal  of  wreckage  was  swept  into  Straits  Pond,  covering 
the  ice  for  large  areas,  and  lodged  along  its  shores.  A  small  one- 
story  building  was  carried  to  the  further  end  of  Straits  Pond  and 
remained  standing  in  the  water  near  Nantasket  post  office  for 
some  time  until  it  was  burned. 

All  our  beaches  were  made  more  steep,  much  of  the  material 
being  carried  over  to  the  back  side,  leaving  the  beaches  less  able 
to  cope  with  future  storms  and  less  able  to  protect  the  roads  they 
bear.  Undoubtedly  the  storms  of  a  century  have  robbed  Cohasset 
of  some  land  area.  Mr.  James  Pettee  informed  me  that  many 
years  ago  he  cultivated  a  good-sized  vegetable  garden  back  of  the 
Black  Rock  House,  between  it  and  the  sea.  He  also  said  that  on 
the  northerly  side  of  Jerusalem  Road,  between  the  Black  Rock 
House  and  the  beach  leading  to  Green  Hill,  there  was  a  field  which 
produced  hay  and  which  was  large  enough  for  a  hay  wagon  to  turn 
round  upon  without  difficulty.  The  condition  of  the  latter  place  is 
now  such  that  one  more  great  storm  might  easily  destroy  a  portion 
of  the  highway.  (These  references  to  the  Black  Rock  House  relate 
to  the  old  hotel  which  formerly  stood  close  to  Jerusalem  Road  a 
little  east  of  its  intersection  with  Forest  Ave.) 

The  winter  of  1898-9  was  also  remarkable  for  a  great  snow 
storm.  Snow  had  been  falling  pretty  steadily  for  two  days,  when, 
on  the  13th  of  February,  the  storm  redoubled  in  fury  and  the  rate 
of  snowfall  greatly  increased.  The  result  when  the  sky  cleared 
on  the  morning  of  the  14th  was  that  every  road  in  town  was  blocked; 
so  much  so  that  all  the  streets  in  the  center  of  the  town  had  to  be 
shoveled  out  by  hand.     Three  places  in  town  showed  by  measure-

ment  drifts  eight  feet  deep,  viz. :  Sohier's  hill,  Sohier  St.  near  top 
of  Deer  Hill,  and  Jerusalem  Road  near  Mr.  Wadleigh's  cottage. 
It  was  nearly  noon  on  Feb.  15,  thirty-six  hours  after  the  storm 
cleared  off,  before  a  sleigh  could  pass  from  Depot  Court  to  the 
North  End  at  junction  of  Jerusalem  Road.  The  railroad  was 
impassable  from  Monday  noon  until  7  p.m.  Tuesday.  The  snow 
was  so  deep  on  a  level  that  a  man  residing  by  Cohasset  Common 
tried  to  drive  out  in  his  sleigh,  but  in  attempting  to  cross  the 
Common,  back  of  the  Unitarian  Church,  got  so  badly  stuck  that 
he  had  to  back  out  and  return  home.  The  oldest  residents  said 
they  had  never  seen  the  roads  more  encumbered  with  snow,  and 
the  great  storm  of  1867  is  probably  the  only  recent  one  with  which 
this  of  February,  1899,  could  be  compared.  The  beach  leading  to 
Green  Hill  was  covered  with  ice  five  to  eight  feet  in  thickness. 
This  fact  together  with  the  frozen  condition  of  the  beach  itself 
undoubtedly  prevented  further  ravages  by  the  sea. 

The  winter  of  1903-4  was  notable  for  its  long  term  of  continu- 
ous sleighing.  It  began  to  snow  on  the  day  after  Christmas,  and 
it  was  good  sleighing  on  all  the  roads  until  Town  Meeting  Day 
(March  7),  a  period  of  ten  weeks.  Such  winters  are  now  com- 
mon in  the  inland  and  northern  portions  of  New  England,  and 
are  said  to  have  been  common  here  in  "  old  times,"  but  it  seems 
that  the  one  just  mentioned  is  the  only  one  of  the  kind  experi- 
enced in  Cohasset  for  thirty  or  forty  years. 


A  SHORT  HISTORY  OF  ST.  STEPHEN'S  CHURCH. 

By   REV.    HOWARD    KEY   BARTOW. 

The  parish  of  St.  Stephen's  began  with  the  first  service  held  in 
The  Grand  Army  Hall  June  4,  1893.  From  this  venture  there 
have  resulted  the  thriving  congregation  and  the  gothic  stone  church 
which  crowns  the  rocks  in  the  center  of  the  town. 

The  first  rector,  or  as  he  preferred  to  be  called,  preacher,  was  the 
Rev.  Charles  Ferguson,  who  assumed  charge  of  the  parish 
April  26,  1893, and  after  two  years  he  was  succeeded  in  1895, 
by  the  Rev.  J.  B.  Thomas  who  ministered  to  the  parish  until 
1898.  A  short  period,  less  than  a  year,  elapsed  between  his  leaving 
and  the  calling  of  a  new  rector.  This  time  was  covered  by  the 
Rev.  James  Woods,  who  acted  as  locum  tenens  until  the  arrival 
of  the  Rev.  Milo  H.  Gates,  who  resigned  the  parish  at  Ipswich  to 
become  rector  June  1,  1898.  The  active  history  of  the  parish 
begins  with  Mr.  Gates,  for  through  his  efforts  the  parish  life  was 
centered  in  the  beautitul  gothic  church,  with  its  modern  parish 
house. 

The  corner  stone  was  laid  by  Bishop  Lawrence,  Friday, 
December  8,  1899,  in  the  presence  of  the  rector,  vestry,  visiting 
clergy,  and  townspeople.  Cram,  Goodhue  &  Ferguson  of  Boston, 
were  the  architects.  Following  the  perpendicular  gothic  style,  they 
created  a  dignified,  stately  edifice,  and  their  design  was  splendidly 
carried  out  by  the  contractors,  L.  D.  Willcutt  &  Son.  The  work- 
men were  almost  all  Cohasset  men.  The  church  was  consecrated 
in  June,  1900,  by  Bishop  Lawrence,  with  the  tower  of  the  church 
uncompleted. 

Mr.  Gates  left  Cohasset  January  1,  1904,  to  assume  the  rector- 
ship of  a  New  York  City  church,  after  he  had  completed  the 
building  of  the  parish  house,  which  was  a  memorial  gift,  and  he  was 
succeeded  by  the  Rev.  H.  K.  Bartow,  the  present  rector,  February 
14,  1904.  The  tower  of  the  church  was  begun  January,  1906,  and 
dedicated  by  the  bishop  September  30,  1906.  This,  like  the 
church  building  proper,  was  the  result  of  general  subscription 
among  the  congregation. 

The  seven  memorial  stained  glass  windows  in  the  church  are  the

work  of  Mr.  Harry  E.  Goodhue  of  Cambridge,  and  were  given 
in  memory  of  various  persons,  —  a  vestryman,  a  choir  boy,  one  of 
the  laborers  on  the  church,  and  relatives  of  members  of  the 
congregation. 

Several  gifts  made  to  the  church  are  of  interest  as  being  historical. 
The  alms  bason  the  gift  of  Mrs.  Thomas  Richardson,  is  very 
old  and  came  from  Italy;  the  shaft  of  the  baptismal  font  was 
given  through  Mr.  Gates,  by  the  rector,  the  Rev.  A.  C.  W.  Upcher, 
and  parish  of  St.  Andrew's  Church,  Hingham,  England,  and  was 
the  original  font  of  that  ancient  parish.  It  is  badly  marred,  and  is 
supposed  to  have  been  broken  by  the  soldiers  of  Cromwell  when 
so  many  churches  in  England  were  despoiled.  The  font  has 
been  restored  practically  as  it  was  originally.  The  ancestors  of 
Abraham  Lincoln,  as  well  as  of  all  the  early  settlers  of  this  town 
and  Hingham,  were  baptized  in  the  font  of  which  this  shaft  was  a 
part.  The  corner  stone  of  the  church  was  the  doorstep  of  the  old 
center  schoolhouse,  which  afterwards  became  the  Grand  Army 
Hall,  where  the  first  services  of  this  church  were  held.  This  door- 
step was  used  for  those  associations  and  because  the  grandfather 
of  the  contractor,  Mr.  L.  D.  Willcutt,  labored  on  the  construction 
of  the  original  building.  The  two  alms  boxes,  on  either  side  of 
the  entrance  under  the  tower,  are  both  very  old.  That  on  the  left 
was  an  original  alms  box  and  came  from  Nuremberg;  the  other 
has  been  converted  to  the  present  use  from  an  old  "strong"  box 
brought  from  the  Continent,  and  is  the  gift  of  Mr.  E.  B.  Townsend.

THE   POPE   MEMORIAL   CHURCH. 

By   REV.   CECIL  HARPER. 

The  Pope  Memorial  Church  was  built  in  1890  as  a  memorial 
to  Charles  Linder  Pope,  who  died  April  21,  1898,  in  the  seven- 
teenth year  of  his  age. 

The  church,  erected  by  his  parents  Colonel  and  Mrs.  Albert  A. 
Pope,  is  situated  at  the  opening  of  Jerusalem  Road,  near  West's 
Corner,  fronted  by  a  broad  lawn  and  looking  up  Strait's  Pond 
toward  the  Black  Rock.  It  is  built  in  gothic  style,  of  seam-faced 
Quincy  granite,  trimmed  with  gray,  and  roofed  with  red  tile.  It 
has  a  large  open  tower,  containing  a  rich  tenor  bell.  The  seating 
capacity  of  the  church  is  about  two  hundred  and  forty,  and  of 
the  vestry  sixty.  The  walls  are  tinted  green,  and  the  ceiling  a 
cream,  with  exposed  rafters.  The  church  contains  a  finely 
voiced  pipe  organ.  Music  is  made  a  feature  of  the  service,  and 
many  distinguished  vocalists  are  heard  each  year. 

The  church  is  undenominational,  and  has  no  creed.  Its 
mission  is  to  deepen  the  spirit  of  universal  brotherhood,  and 
over  the  organ  in  letters  of  gold  is  inscribed  the  text 

"Love  to  God:  Love  to  Man." 

It  is  attended  by  persons  of  all  denominations  —  in  the  summer 
by  cottagers  and  guests  at  the  various  hotels;  in  the  winter  by 
the  permanent  residents. 

The  pastor,  Rev.  Cecil  Harper,  has  been  in  charge  from  the 
beginning.  There  is  a  prosperous  Sunday  school  connected 
with  the  church.  It  is  supported  by  voluntary  contributions 
and  by  an  annual  fair.

THE   PAUL   PRATT   MEMORIAL   LIBRARY. 

By  REV.   WILLIAM   R.    COLE. 

In  the  Narrative  History  of  Cohasset,  by  the  Rev.  E.  Victor 
Bigelow,  there  is  to  be  found  (pp.  518  to  522)  the  story  of  how  the 
library  began  as  an  institution  and  its  development  into  a  public 
library  of  the  town,  in  the  year  1879,  as  the  Cohasset  Free  Public 
Library.  Within  twenty  years  from  that  date,  it  had  become 
apparent  that  the  quarters  it  occupied  on  the  first  floor  of  the  Town 
Hall  were  inadequate  and  outgrown.  Fortunately  the  need  of  the 
library  and  the  hopes  of  its  friends  were  answered  by  the  bequest 
of  Miss  Harriot  Eustis  Pratt. 

Miss  Harriot  Eustis  Pratt  was  the  daughter  of  Paul  Pratt,  who 
was  born  in  Cohasset  May  17,  1788,  and  died  in  Cohasset  August 
31,  1853.  At  his  death  he  left  a  modest  fortune  to  his  daughters, 
Sarah  S.  and  Harriot  E.,  which,  through  wise  management  and 
shrewd  investment  by  their  trustees  and  the  simple,  careful  living 
of  the  sisters,  increased  materially.  The  sisters  had  from  the 
start  been  interested  and  active  in  the  library  work.  Miss  Sarah 
was  one  of  the  original  trustees  of  the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library 
and  continued  in  that  office  until  her  death  in  1896.  Miss  Harriot 
died  April  19,  1898,  and  her  will,  probated  May  18,  1898,  founded 
the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library.  Her  will  directed  that  one-half 
of  her  estate,  not  including  certain  real  estate  amounting  to  a  little 
more  than  forty  thousand  dollars,  should  be  paid  over  to  the 
chairman  of  the  Selectmen  of  Cohasset,  to  the  pastor  of  the  First 
Parish  Church  in  Cohasset  and  to  the  pastor  of  the  Second  Con- 
gregational Church  in  Cohasset  for  the  time  being;  and  to  Randolph 
Knapp  and  James  Longley  and  to  two  others  to  be  chosen  by  these 
five,  who  should  constitute  a  board  of  trustees  for  the  purpose  of 
establishing  and  maintaining  a  public  library  in  the  town  of 
Cohasset  to  be  known  as  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library.  The 
will  also  directed  that  the  three  officials  should  always  be  members, 
ex  officio,  of  the  Board  of  Trustees;  that  this  board  should  make 
reasonable  regulations  for  the  establishment  and  maintenance  of 

618 


The  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library.  619 

the  library  by  incorporation  or  otherwise,  and  provide  for  the  per- 
petual care  thereof;  and  that  the  largest  possible  liberty  and  dis- 
cretion in  the  use  of  such  literary  and  social  means  as  should  tend 
to  the  accomplishment  of  the  purpose  of  the  bequest,  be  conferred 
upon  them  and  their  successors  in  the  trust.  Aside  from  the 
ex  officio  members  any  vacancy  which  arises  in  the  board  is  to  be 
filled  by  the  vote  of  the  remaining  members. 

Owing  to  the  claim  of  an  adopted  niece  and  consequent  litiga- 
tion, there  intervened  a  delay  of  nearly  two  years  before  the  trustees 
could  organize. 

The  first  meeting  of  the  trustees  of  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial 
Library  was  held  in  the  Selectmen's  room  in  the  Town  Hall,  Feb- 
ruary 3,  1900.  In  accordance  with  the  authority  granted  to  them, 
Philander  Bates,  chairman  of  the  Selectmen  of  Cohasset,  William 
R.  Cole,  pastor  of  the  First  Parish  Church  in  Cohasset,  E.  Victor 
Bigelow,  pastor  of  the  Second  Congregational  Church  in  Cohasset, 
and  James  Longley  of  Boston,  chose  Samuel  T.  Snow  of 
Cohasset  in  the  place  of  Randolph  Knapp,  deceased,  and  these 
five  chose  Charles  A.  Welch  and  Abraham  H.  Tower,  both  of 
Cohasset. 

The  board  organized  with  the  following  officers:  President, 
Samuel  T.  Snow;  Treasurer,  James  Longley;  and  Clerk,  William- 
R.  Cole.  In  the  following  month  they  organized  under  the  laws 
of  the  state  as  a  corporation ;  the  trustees  became  directors  and  the 
same  officers  were  elected.  There  have  been  changes  in  the  board 
occasioned  by  the  change  of  pastors  in  the  Second  Congregational 
Church,  Rev.  Charles  W.  Merriam  taking  the  place  of  Rev.  E.  V. 
Bigelow  in  1901  and  the  Rev.  F.  B.  McAllister  that  of  Mr.  Merriam 
in  1904;  and  by  the  deaths  of  Samuel  T.  Snow  in  1901,  of  Abraham 
H.  Tower  in  1904  and  of  Charles  A.  Welch  in  1908,  whose  places 
were  filled  in  order  by  Charles  C.  Wheelwright,  Edward  Nichols 
and  George  W.  Collier,  all  of  Cohasset. 

The  first  business  the  board  found  under  the  bequest  awaiting 
them,  was  the  location  and  erection  of  a  building.  The  beginning 
of  this  task  was  made  possible  by  the  gift  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Samuel 
T.  Snow  of  the  piece  of  land  on  South  Main  Street  where  the 
library  now  stands.  Mr.  Edward  Nichols  was  selected  as  the 
architect,  and  the  construction  of  the  building  was  begun  in  April, 


620  History  of  Cohasset. 

1902,  and  finished  in  December  of  the  same  year.  As  the  building 
approached  completion,  the  question  of  bringing  the  two  libraries, 
the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library  and  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial 
Library,  into  cooperation  and  union,  pressed  more  and  more  upon 
the  attention  and  thought  of  the  trustees  and  the  townspeople. 
The  directors  of  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library  were  restrained 
by  the  terms  of  the  trust  from  surrendering  the  position  of  regu- 
lating and  supervising  everything  in  the  library,  but  there  was  the 
town  library  with  its  trustees  and  books.  Good  sense,  business 
economy  and  destiny  demanded  that  the  two  should  be  as  one.  It 
was  simply  brought  about.  The  two  boards  agreed  between  them- 
selves to  an  arrangement,  whereby  the  two  libraries  could  work 
together  without  friction  and  with  the  common  purpose  of  giving  to 
the  people  of  Cohasset,  the  best  possible  collection  of  books  with 
large  liberty  of  use,  in  a  comfortable  building  modernly  equipped. 
The  agreement  was  presented  to  the  Town  Meeting,  March,  1903, 
and  met  with  the  approval  of  the  citizens.  Its  duration  was  for  the 
term  of  three  years  and  has  since  been  renewed  for  a  like  length  of 
time.  By  this  agreement,  the  directors  of  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial 
Library  have  exclusive  control  of  the  management  of  the  library, 
their  own  funds  and  the  town  appropriation.  The  trustees  of 
the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library  have  entire  control  of  the 
funds  of  that  library  and  the  interest  from  the  same.  All  books 
bought  from  their  funds  and  from  the  town  appropriation  are 
marked  with  the  name  of  the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library. 
The  two  boards  are  represented  on  the  book  committee,  and  thus  all 
books  are  purchased  with  the  joint  voice  and  authority  of  the  two 
boards. 

Another  important  matter  in  the  library's  history  was  effected 
by  the  directors.  It  was  the  remodeling  of  the  library  after  the 
best  types  of  such  institutions,  a  complete  change  in  method  of  cata- 
loguing of  books  and  the  making  of  regulations  for  the  greatest 
freedom  to  the  borrowers  possible  under  a  wise  control. 

All  these  problems  were  met  and  solved,  and  the  library  was 
opened  to  the  public  on  July  13,  1903,  with  certain  simple  dedica- 
tory exercises. 

The  five  years  of  joint  history  of  the  libraries  have  been  years  of 
steady  improvement  and  growth.     Many  improvements  in  the  way 


The  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library.  621 

of  the  public's  comfort  in  the  building  and  its  use  of  the  books  have 
been  made. 

For  the  children,  a  department  has  been  made  in  the  north 
room,  where  their  books  are  stacked,  their  periodicals  gathered 
and  their  own  tables  and  chairs  arranged  for  their  use. 

The  number  of  books  has  in  these  five  years  been  nearly  doubled, 
and  those  who  use  the  library  have  greatly  increased  in  number 
since  the  days  of  the  badly  ventilated  and  lighted  room  in  the  Town 
Hall. 

To  each  of  the  libraries  bequests  or  gifts  have  been  made :  under 
the  wills  of  Miss  Susannah  L.  Stoddard  and  Mrs.  Henry  M. 
Knowles,  the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library;  by  that  of  Mrs.  Edward 
Wheelwright,  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library  became  beneficia- 
ries. At  the  time  of  the  opening  of  the  library,  Mr.  Charles  A. 
Welch,  one  of  the  directors,  gave  three  thousand  dollars  to  be  used 
for  the  purchase  of  books  for  the  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library. 
It  was  a  most  opportune  gift,  as  it  enabled  the  management  to 
strengthen  the  library  in  many  weak  places. 

In  bringing  the  story  of  the  library  up  to  date  (1908)  a  just  pride 
may  be  taken  in  the  interest  and  labor  of  all  who  first  undertook 
the  work  and  in  the  excellent  result  achieved  by  the  money,  the 
thought  and  devotion  of  the  people  of  Cohasset.  Its  future  as  an 
institution  is  assured  among  us.  Its  power  as  an  effective  agent 
for  good  should  be  as  great  as  is  its  opportunity. 

Description  of  Building  by  the  Architect, 
Edward  Nichols. 

The  Paul  Pratt  Memorial  Library  building  is  designed  in  the 
classical  style  of  architecture,  of  the  Georgian,  or  Colonial  period, 
and  is  cruciform  in  plan,  the  main  reading  rooms  making  the  long 
arms  of  the  cross,  with  an  Ionic  portico  on  the  front  and  the  stack 
room  in  the  rear  making  the  short  arms.  The  walls  are  built  of 
buff  brick  with  trimmings  of  Indiana  limestone,  above  a  base  course 
of  granite.  The  roof  is  of  copper,  and  is  crowned  by  an  octagonal 
cupola  terminated  by  a  vane  in  the  form  of  a  mackerel,  —  typical 
of  Cohasset's  former  industry.  In  a  circular  hall  opposite  the 
entrance  is  the  general  delivery  desk,  and  close  to  this  a  card  cata- 
logue case  let  into  the  paneling  of  the  wall.     Beyond  the  desk,

with  an  intervening  lobby,  is  the  book  room,  consisting  of  two  tiers 
of  steel  stacks  with  glass  floor.  This  room  is  of  fireproof  construc- 
tion, and  is  shut  off  from  the  main  building  by  an  automatic  fire- 
proof door.  It  contains  shelf-room  for  about  13,000  volumes, 
and,  by  reason  of  the  basement  being  wholly  above  ground  on  the 
rear,  it  is  made  possible  to  increase  the  capacity  by  adding  an  equal 
amount  of  shelving  below,  making  a  total  capacity  of  26,000 
volumes.  This  arrangement  of  stacks,  partly  above  and  partly 
below  the  general  delivery  desk,  brings  all  of  the  books  within  easy 
access.  The  whole  north  wing  of  the  building  is  given  to  a  large 
reading  room  containing  the  juvenile  department  and  cases  for 
exhibition  of  articles  of  historic  interest;  and  the  south  wing  is 
divided  into  a  smaller  reading  room,  an  alcove  for  reference  books, 
and  a  room  for  the  use  of  the  librarian  and  directors.  Both  reading 
rooms  have  fireplaces,  and  are  paneled  to  the  height  of  the  windows 
and  finished  with  birch  in  mahogany  color,  with  birch  floors.  The 
spaces  on  either  side  of  the  vestibule  are  used  for  the  janitor's  room 
and  stairs  to  the  basement  and  loft.  In  the  pediment  above  the 
front  portico  is  a  clock,  the  gift  of  Mr.  James  Longley  of  the  Board 
of  Directors. 


EARLY  RECORDS  OF  THE  COHASSET  LIBRARY. 

Since  the  story  of  the  development  of  the  Cohasset  Library  was 
written  by  Rev.  Mr.  Bigelow,  as  mentioned  above,  books  bearing 
the  inscription,  "Social  Library  of  Cohasset,  1792,"  have  been 
found  among  those  of  the  Cohasset  Free  Public  Library.  These 
books  show  that  a  Social  Library  was  in  existence  at  least  forty 
years  earlier  than  the  Washington  Library,  which  was  legally 
organized  in  1832. 

A  document  dated  March,  1800,  now  in  possession  of  the  library, 
a  copy  of  which  is  appended  hereto,  gives  a  "List  of  Proprietors  of 
old  stock  on  the  first  of  march  by  the  Records"  of  the  Cohasset 
Social  Library,  presumably  that  one  in  existence  in  1792  and  likely 
the  Social  Library  into  which  the  Washington  Library  was  merged 
in  1844.

HISTORIC   MEMORIALS. 

By  Oliver  H.  Howe. 

The  past  ten  years  have  seen  a  rather  general  movement  to  mark 
historic  localities.  An  interesting  memorial  is  the  tablet  inserted 
in  a  boulder  near  Bound  Rock,  close  by  Lincoln's  Mill  Pond. 
The  boulder  rests  against  the  town  boundary  stone  by  the  roadside 
of  South  Main  Street,  at  the  Scituate  line. 

Bound  Rock  at  the  outlet  of  Lincoln's  Mill  Pond  is  underneath 
a  storehouse  of  the  grain  mill  upon  the  side  street,  and  is  marked 
by  a  stone  post  projecting  up  through  the  floor  of  the  building. 
Bound  Rock  marks  the  easterly  extremity  of  the  boundary  between 
the  Massachusetts  Bay  and  Plymouth  Colonies.  Further  west 
the  line  was  designated  as  passing  through  the  middle  of  Accord 
Pond.     (See  "  Narrative  History  of  Cohasset,"  pp.  124-126.) 

This  line  as  it  exists  on  our  maps  to-day,  and  referred  to  as  the 
"Old  Colony  Line,"  "Patent  Line"  or  "Patten  Line,"  extends  in 
an  approximately  straight  course  from  Bound  Rock  to  the  Rhode 
Island  boundary,  a  distance  of  thirty-five  miles.  It  is  the  longest 
straight  boundary  line  in  Massachusetts,  and  originally  marked 
the  division  between  Puritans  on  the  north  and  Pilgrims  on  the 
south.  It  now  divides  Norfolk  and  Plymouth  counties,  with  the 
exception  that  Hingham  on  its  northerly  side  has  joined  Plymouth 
county. 

Established  in  1640  by  four  eminent  men  from  the  two  colonies, 
it  is  found  that  with  one  exception  it  is  the  earliest  artificial  bound- 
ary located  by  landmarks  in  the  United  States.  A  line  extending 
twelve  miles  across  the  peninsula  from  Chesapeake  Bay  to  the 
ocean  was  established  in  1632  and  remains  as  a  present  boundary 
between  Maryland  and  Virginia.  The  latter  line  was  designated 
in  a  charter  from  the  king,  while  the  Massachusetts  colony  line 
was  a  mutual  arrangement  between  the  two  colonies  by  their  own 
appointed  commissioners. 

The  tablet  was  prepared  and  placed  by  the  Old  Colony  Com- 
mission, appointed  by  the  governor  in  1895,  and  consisting  of 
William  T.  Davis  of  Plymouth,  Rev.  S.  Hopkins  Emery  of  Taun-

the  most  convenient  point  on  the  main  highway,  although  133  feet 
distant  from  Bound  Rock.     The  tablet  reads  as  follows:

RECENT  DEVELOPMENT  OF  COHASSET. 

By  OLIVER  H.  HOWE. 

The  ten  years  since  the  publication  of  the  Narrative  History 
of  Cohasset  reveal  a  steady  progress  along  the  lines  of  town  life 
which  then  existed.  We  notice  at  once  that  Cohasset  has 
become  more  modern.  Perhaps  nothing  has  contributed  more 
to  this  progressive  spirit  than  the  introduction  of  the  telephone. 
At  first  limited  to  a  single  pay-station  in  the  drug  store  of  Frank 
W.  Browne,  Cohasset  now  has  a  well-appointed  telephone 
exchange  and  about  two  hundred  subscribers  among  towns- 
people, besides  more  than  one  hundred  among  summer  residents. 

The  citizen  no  longer  spends  half  a  day  in  driving  to  see  some 
one  on  business,  only  to  find  him  absent  from  home.  As  addi- 
tional bonds  of  public  safety,  the  town  installed  a  fire  alarm 
telegraph  system  in  the  summer  of  1905  and  a  police  signal 
system  in  1908.  The  railroad  extended  its  second  track  to 
Cohasset  in  1906,  adding  much  to  the  safety  and  expedition  of  trains. 
Electric  power  was  used  from  July  24,  1899,  to  Nov.  22,  1901,  as  an 
experiment  upon  the  accommodation  trains  between  Braintree 
and  Cohasset.  It  had  been  used  for  several  years  previously  in 
the  summer  upon  the  trains  of  open  cars  of  the  Nantasket  Beach 
branch;  but  the  line  from  Braintree  to  Cohasset  was  an  early 
instance  of  its  use  upon  a  regularly  equipped  railroad  the  year 
round.  The  current  was  supplied  by  a  third  rail  and  the  motor 
was  installed  beneath  an  ordinary  passenger  car,  the  motorman 
occupying  a  small  compartment  forward. 

The  introduction  of  gasoline  power  for  boats  has  revolution- 
ized the  life  of  the  boatman  and  fisherman.  Instead  of  being 
dependent  upon  the  fitful  and  uncertain  breeze  and  being  doomed 
to  the  consequent  becalmed  conditions  with  the  weary  pull  at  the 
oars,  against  wind  and  tide,  the  lobsterman  can  now  visit  his 
traps  with  certainty  and  dispatch.  The  sea  is  not  the  only 
locality   vanquished    in    these    modern    days,  for    the   horse   is 

627 


628  History  of  Cohasset. 

becoming  less  frequent  and  the  automobile  is  an  almost  constant 
feature  of  the  landscape.  Roads  have  been  much  improved,  and 
the  state  road  now  extends  from  the  Hingham  line  near  Whitney 
crossing  to  the  Scituate  line  near  Lincoln's  mill,  with  the  excep- 
tion of  a  mile  in  the  village,  which  the  town  has  made  equal  to 
state  highway.  The  increased  wear  of  the  roads  by  automobiles 
has  necessitated  the  use  of  oil  or  of  tar  to  lay  dust  and  preserve 
the  road. 

A  hearing  upon  a  petition  for  an  electric  street  railway  was 
held  in  1904,  but  proved  futile.  The  town  is  thus  free  from  the 
encumbrances  of  tracks  and  trolley  wires  in  its  streets,  which 
are  none  too  wide  for  the  present  kinds  of  traffic.  What  the 
future  means  of  public  transportation  will  be,  one  can  only 
conjecture,  but  it  is  not  unlikely  that  we  shall  have  motor  vehicles 
running  without  tracks. 

Lovers  of  horses  have  preserved  for  themselves  certain  secluded 
drives.  Howe's  road  extending  between  King  and  Doane  streets 
has  long  been  enjoyed  for  driving,  but  in  recent  years  Worrick 
road  and  certain  intersecting  drives  connecting  with  these  and 
with  Turkey  Hill  have  been  built  and  form  delightful  retreats  for 
summer  afternoons. 

The  general  aspect  of  Cohasset  has  been  much  improved  by 
the  erection  of  several  public  buildings.  St.  Stephen's  Church 
crowning  the  rocks  in  the  center  of  the  town,  lifts  its  massive 
tower  as  a  noble  and  dignified  landmark.  The  Paul  Pratt 
Memorial  Library  is  a  conspicuous  ornament,  and  its  hospitable 
doors  invite  all  the  inhabitants  to  the  broad  and  liberal  culture 
of  the  age.  At  North  Cohasset  the  Pope  Memorial  Church, 
massive  in  every  detail,  adds  a  note  of  strength  and  permanence 
to  the  already  charming  Jerusalem  Road,  while  its  sweet-toned 
bell  is  a  delight  to  every  listener. 

The  old  Black  Rock  House,  which  stood  close  to  Jerusalem 
Road  for  so  many  years,  was  torn  down  in  the  fall  of  1903  and  its 
site  left  open  as  it  is  now,  greatly  enhancing  the  view.  Its  new 
namesake  stands  upon  a  rugged  cliff  about  a  thousand  feet  to  the 
westward;  and  with  picturesque  towers  and  breezy  piazzas,  exults 
in  its  cool  situation  and  fine  view.  With  the  passing  of  the  old 
hotel,  we  must  also  notice  the  disappearance  of  the  old  Warren 


Recent  Development  of  Cohasset.  629 

Bates  House  on  Jerusalem  Road,  for  so  many  years  kept  as  a 
quiet  and  select  boarding  house  by  the  genial  couple  who  occupied 
it.  The  property  was  purchased  in  1904  by  Mr.  Matthew  Luce, 
who,  after  removing  the  old  buildings,  erected  the  fine  residence 
which  he  now  occupies.  Much  of  the  life  and  constitution  of  our 
present  summer  colony  owes  its  origin  to  this  excellent  boarding 
house  where  many  of  our  families  first  enjoyed  the  delights  of 
Cohasset.  Beginning  as  transient  boarders,  they  were  led  to 
build  houses  and  develop  large  estates  here,  which  have  already 
been  enjoyed  by  the  second  and  third  generations  of  their  descend- 
ants. It  is  proverbial  that  any  one  who  has  really  tasted  the 
beauties  of  Cohasset  becomes  possessed  by  a  desire  to  return  and 
live  here.  This  is  seen  in  the  "homing  instinct"  of  our  towns- 
people; for  many  a  young  couple  have  emigrated  to  some  other 
locality  more  convenient  to  business,  expecting  never  to  return; 
but  a  few  years  (or  months)  have  sufficed  to  bring  them  back  to 
their  native  town  for  life. 

Development  of  ornamental  public  grounds  has  kept  pace  with 
other  improvements.  The  North  End  Park,  with  its  quiet,  restful 
elms,  was  made  in  1904  through  the  generosity  of  Mrs.  T.  F. 
Furber.  An  extensive  improvement  of  Meeting  House  pond 
was  accomplished  in  1903,  the  cost  being  provided  by  the  estate 
of  Robert  C.  Billings.  The  fountain  and  the  present  graceful 
curbing  were  added  and  the  immediate  surroundings  greatly 
improved.  The  beauty  of  our  Common  compels  the  admiration 
of  every  beholder.  As  the  center  of  a  village  it  possesses  a  harmony 
and  proportion  and  a  rare  beauty,  which  are  seldom  equalled  and 
probably  never  surpassed.  The  Billings  estate  also  provided  for 
an  enlargement  of  Pratt  Park  in  Beechwood,  now  known  as 
Billings-Pratt  Park. 

In  1907  the  town  purchased  Lawrence  wharf  on  Border  Street 
for  a  public  landing  place.  The  acquisition  of  this  wharf,  together 
with  the  widening  of  Summer  Street  at  the  head  of  the  Cove,  gives 
the  town  the  ownership  of  nearly  half  of  the  shore  of  the  inner 
harbor.  Among  the  old  buildings  which  have  given  way  to  the 
march  of  improvement  were  the  old  store  of  Mr.  Caleb  F.  Nichols, 
at  the  head  of  the  Cove,  torn  down  in  1907,  and  the  near-by  Zealous 
Bates  house,  demolished  in  1908.    The  aspect  of  the  old  fishing

village  is  slowly  but  surely  disappearing,  with  consequent  loss 
of  many  quaint  buildings,  but  delightful  views  have  been  opened 
up  and  the  natural  beauty  is  much  enhanced. 

The  schooner  yacht  Grade,  one  of  the  later  vessels  built  in 
Cohasset  and  which  remained  at  anchor  in  the  harbor  for  nearly 
twenty  years,  was  broken  up  in  1905.  She  was  built  for 
Mr.  Edward  E.  Tower  in  1872  of  timber  grown  here.  Her 
length  was  68.2  feet  and  her  gross  tonnage  53.84.  A  near  neighbor 
of  the  Grade  at  her  anchorage,  although  kept  in  commission,  was 
the  famous  sloop  yacht  Shadow,  owned  by  Dr.  John  Bryant.  She 
was  built  by  J.  B.  Herreshoff  in  187 1  and  had  a  length  of  36  feet 
6  inches.  She  defeated  the  English  cutter  Madge  in  188 1,  and  in 
the  period  between  1875  and  1886  the  Shadow  maintained  constant 
prestige  over  boats  of  her  tonnage  in  Eastern  waters.  Within 
the  past  year,  when  laid  up  between  the  bridges  at  Chelsea,  she 
was  burned  in  the  great  Chelsea  fire  April  12,  1908. 

Mention  of  the  Shadow  brings  to  mind  Capt.  Aubrey  Crocker, 
who  for  many  years  sailed  her.  Captain  Crocker  also  sailed  the 
Puritan  against  the  Genesta  in  1885,  successfully  defending  the 
America's  cup.  In  1893  he  sailed  the  Navahoe  against  the 
Britannia  on  a  course  from  the  Isle  of  Wight  to  Cherbourg 
and  return,  winning  back  to  American  possession  the  Brenton 
Reef  cup.  During  this  race,  which  was  in  the  severest  racing 
weather,  Captain  Crocker  remained  constantly  at  the  wheel  for 
ten  hours,  part  of  which  time  he  was  in  water  up  to  his  waist. 
Captain  Crocker  spent  most  of  his  life  in  Cohasset  and  died  here 
June  23,  1906. 

An  attempt  was  made  in  1902  to  have  the  town  purchase 
White  Head,  in  order  to  secure  to  posterity  the  time-honored 
picnic  privileges.  After  two  meetings  and  free  discussion  of  the 
matter,  the  town  voted  by  a  good  majority  to  purchase  the  prop- 
erty, but  failed  to  give  the  required  two-thirds  vote.  White 
Head  has  since  passed  into  private  hands,  and  the  opportunity 
is  lost. 

The  enjoyment  of  the  sea  is  much  increased  by  the  flourishing 
Cohasset  Yacht  Club,  formed  in  1894.  Lovers  of  golf  take  much 
pleasure  in  the  fine  links  of  the  Cohasset  Golf  Club  on  land  of 
Mr.  Henry  M.  Whitney  on  Lambert's  Lane.  In  1901  the  town 
purchased  a  spacious  ball  field  and  recreation  ground  just  below

the  reservoir  on  Pleasant  Street.  The  Cyrus  H.  Bates  Camp  of 
Sons  of  Veterans,  No.  140,  was  formed  in  1908  with  forty  mem- 
bers and  William  H.  Brown  as  commander. 

The  conduct  of  town  meetings  is  much  facilitated  by  the 
adoption  of  the  Australian  ballot  in  1904.  In  1907  the  town 
sold  its  old  almshouse  on  King  Street,  and  built  the  modern  and 
commodious  Cohasset  Home  on  Pond  Street,  which  would  be  a 
credit  to  any  town.  The  new  Woodside  Cemetery  on  North  Main 
Street,  next  the  Hingham  line,  was  opened  in  1902.  New  fire 
department  houses  have  been  built  at  North  Cohasset  (the 
Matthew  Luce  Hose)  and  in  Beechwood.  The  interior  of  the 
First  Parish  Church  has  been  carefully  restored,  replacing  the 
antique  columns  with  which  it  was  originally  ornamented. 

Being  somewhat  distant  from  Boston,  Cohasset  develops  its 
own  village  institutions  and  social  life.  The  Literary  Club, 
formed  in  1890,  has  been  a  notable  means  of  culture,  and  now, 
after  an  existence  of  eighteen  years,  is  in  a  flourishing  con- 
dition with  more  than  fifty  members.  The  Men's  Club  of 
Cohasset,  formed  in  1907,  has  now  one  hundred  members,  and 
uniting  in  a  broad  and  liberal  way  the  energies  and  resources 
of  the  citizens,  will  make  for  civic  improvement  and  high  stand- 
ards of  citizenship. 

The  town  has  had  a  steady  growth:  many  new  houses  have 
been  built,  including  one  large  settlement  on  Lincoln  Hillside. 
All  houses  have  become  more  comfortable  by  adoption  of  modern 
heating  apparatus  and  plumbing.  New  summer  cottages  have 
also  been  built,  many  of  which  are  placed  in  picturesque  situ- 
ations in  our  rocky  woods.  Our  summer  residents  are  making 
longer  seasons  here,  and  the  summer  house,  being  better  fur- 
nished and  equipped  than  formerly,  is  becoming  more  and  more 
the  real  home.  Some  families  originally  here  for  the  summer 
have  made  Cohasset  their  residence  for  the  entire  year.  The 
influence  and  help  of  these  new  citizens  in  our  winter  social  life 
is  of  decided  benefit.  Free  from  any  disturbing  elements  to 
impair  its  value  as  a  place  of  residence,  combining  a  shore  of 
wonderful  interest  with  the  rugged  charm  of  woodland  and  cliff, 
Cohasset  is  the  gem  of  the  "  South  Shore,"  famous  for  its  pictur- 
esqueness  and  its  beauty.
